I wouldn't agree. Innovation for portable laptop/tablet form factors had been slow for quite some time, but I think there's a small uptick again. Everything from the Razer Blade which supports a external dGPU to devices like Microsoft's Surface Pro 4 and Surface Book are pretty exciting.

On other fronts, $99 "laptop containers" which utilize your smartphone's computing power are popping up:

NexDock: http://nexdock.com/

And finally: $250 Chromebooks have started to get so good that it's actually viable replacement for a large portion of people who do most of their work in a browser anyways!
