Laptop, Tablet, or Desktop Computer?
« on: September 30, 2012, 08:21:50 pm »
Which do you like best for different aspects of your computing needs? I currently do not own a tablet but I would like to purchase one eventually for casual web browsing. I use my laptop for normal web browsing and FusionCash and my desktop computer when I want to photoshop something together or make documents/presentations ect. - more difficult work. When I'm done with the difficult work I usually take advantage of the larger screen and better audio with a lot of Youtube!

I forgot about gaming. I do that on my desktop too, much easier to manage plus extra processing power. Also, my desktop is wired into our comcast modem so it's faster than my laptop slightly due to the obvious fact that it's wireless. I usually pull about 25 Mbps down 5 Mbps up on desktop computer while I get about 15 Mbps down and 3 Mbps up on my laptop. I usually don't see much difference in day to day use though.

I have a laptop, which suits me perfectly since I'm always on the move.

I used my laptop for FC and my iPad for games and browsing the net.

I like my laptop for everything. I have bad eyes so I can get real close to my laptop.

I use a desktop only right now because I some how crashed two laptops surfing traffic exchanges. I guess I should have been using the desktop instead of the laptop anyway. My best friend is a computer technician and she will not fix them until I promise her I want surf traffic exchanges. I don't know if I can keep that promise. Maybe just surf 1 or 2 sites at a time instead of 10.

 I prefer a laptop myself, I'm usually on the go and a laptop is more convienant for me. Desktop's are alright but, I never owned one.

I prefer laptops too. I keep mine hooked up to a monitor, keyboard and mouse because I'm more comfortable working that way, but I like to be able to take it with me when I go visiting relatives. We got an iPad as a gift last year and it's fun to play with, but it's not something that I could use on a regular basis for anything other than Kindle, Netflix or general surfing.

I have used both a desktop and laptop and I like the laptop the best because I don't have to be at a desk and I always have a LAP! V :star: :star: :star:

I have a desktop and a  laptop.  I prefer the desktop because of the keyboard and mouse.  I also have a headset for using Skype when I talk with Team Members or prospects for my online business.

The laptop comes in handy when I visit my folks who don't have a computer.

I love my Laptop, but hopefully one day will buy a Tablet.  I love technology and all the things that are available.
