well i would still have a graphics card and wouldn't use the graphics capability... im looking to build one so i guess the question is if even the haswell is needed or just go top of line of ivy bridge

I say hell with Haswell if you aren't running off a battery.

Well when everything is cloud based there won't be any need for a hard drive or anything on access devices. Or course it's more difficult to steal a desktop that is secured to a desk than it is to take a mini tablet so there is that too.

But then again it will take a while to get people to trust cloud based storage and applications. A lot of people out there want total control of their data and would never put it on the net. I used to think like that, but nowadays it doesn't really concern me and I used many web-based application in my work.

I just use a little cheapie lap top attached to a 32" Samsung TV and a wireless printer and my smart phone and that is my entire set up. I don't even need an office or an assistant any more.
