Being in IT right now, there is totally a trend away from powerful desktops. Clients are getting thinner and lighter and more strain is being passed to the servers. It is actually an excellent way to go, provided you have a robust network and strong server cluster.
I almost never use my desktop anymore. It has become more of a server than anything. If I had some extra money, I could totally see myself setting up lots of local storage, a cloud based backup, and a tablet interface for web/media/etc.
The days of the traditional desktop are numbered.
