go look on the microcenter website. all the bundles boards are atx, not matx or itx far as i can tell. do they still make matx? thats still the most convenient form factor axe far axe i can tell, i understand itx is more popular now but aren those rather limited and more expensive?
How about you take a look at the board makers directly.
How about look at Gigabyte website directly
How about looking at ASUS directly.
These vendors all have itx...
Infact
every vendor has itx.
Now why do u think EVERY vendor would make an ITX board if its not popular?
Just cuz microcenter doesnt sell it, doesnt mean trend is dropping.
Matx will never die out.
Matx has a form and function outside regular ATX.
Again.. calling matx or itx a dying form factor is just silly...
The only real form factor i have seen die out is BTX.
whose the idiot at intel who thought BTX would take off?
I alone have built more itx this year then any other pc's.
Im sure a lot of others have built itx this year cuz they started getting popular.
if her desktop looks like that, it will perform like this:

no thanks to sheet like that if you axe me
You can not bolt a notebook like that to a VESA mount.
You can not make small mods to a notebook like u can to those.
You can not also place a laptop in your pocket like u can to a QS77.
You can not put a laptop with a projector in 1 bag like u can with a QS77 unless ur projector bag was big.
People are less likely to walk away and steal a QS77 vs a laptop cuz when 90% of the people see something like a QS77 they dont think of it as a full bloated computer.
Laptop has its place and function, however itx also have a place in function which laptops cant meet.
Id much rather have a tiny box bolted behind a HDTV on a station which isnt designed to be portable any day of the week over a laptop connected to the said monitor on a HDMI.
