OS: Chrome OS dominates the market, Windows and Mac left fighting for second place. Yet they don't bother to look at what made Chrome OS' fortunes. (Cloud Computing)
Display: 42" LED/OLED's become widely adopted, with multitouch support becoming standard even in the cheapest displays (24")
CPU: Intel buys out AMD/ATI. Intel i7-975 CPU's are only used in Low-Middle range PC's. Intel i9-975'S (5GHz, OC-Able to 6.3GHz) are used in middle to high end PC's. Intel Ised (6.8GHz, OC-Able to 7.5GHz) CPU's are used in High-End PC's.
RAM: DDR3 is Standard. DDR4 is at the same position DDR3 is at now. Windows 8 requires 3GB of RAM, therefore 5GB is the new 2GB. High-End PC's have a minimum of 12GB of DDR4 RAM
Graphics/GPU: GTX 250's are the worst GPU's around. Because of Intel's ATI buyout, the ultimate GPU technologies are produced. Totally future-proof, as they are compatible with the in-development
Super Hi-Vision
which is slated for a 2020 release.
Ports: USB 3.0 becomes standard and can transfer 3GB/PS. Firewire is retired and it's replacement, LiveWire can transfer video faster and can transfer videos to PC's in ReallTime using a Wi-Fi chip.
Storage: SSD's are standard with 250GB taking the lead instead of the TB's, as cloud computing is the most-used storage system. Google is the world's largest Cloud storage provider. It's servers take up the space of 1000 football-fields and has a storage capacity of 100 Petabytes with 1TB added each day.
That's my guess. Wild and inaccurate yes. But some of them can be true........
BTW I used
Cam's post as a guideline.
