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 like to use my laptop for general use. surfing, watching YouTube videos, making money, etc. i mainly use my desktop to game or stream videos.
-
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 like my desktop computer.
-
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 cant live without my laptop!!!! :icon_rr:
-
Since I have laptop, I do everything on it.
-
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.
-
I am not crazy about laptops! I think I want to be buried with my Tablet...but still nothing beats a good old fashion Desktop Computer
-
I love my laptop, I enjoy watching football and do surveys and games or just search the web all at the same time.
-

-
Laptop, cause it's all I have ::)
-
Desktop because I can't afford to get something else.
-
I have a desk top and a lap top, I prefer the lap top, it is easier to use anywhere in the house. I like to be in the family room with my husband while he is watching his programs on TV, even if I don't enjoy those, I do enjoy being close to him. :heart:
-
I work on two lappys at the same time and I have a desktop I'm so addicted to FC
-
Laptop for general use, desktop for gaming, tablet when I'm on the go.

I just got a Dell dual core laptop with 2Gb memory on Ebay for $21.50. It had to be listed for Parts Only, because it had no hard drive or CD/DVD drive, but it showed pictures that it booted up to the BIOS, so I took a chance. When it got here, I burned Browser Linux on a USB stick ($5 at Office Depot for 8Gb) and fired it up on that. Last night (while I was watching TV) I used it to surf 2,000 credits on traffic exchanges, with no worries that I would infect my Windows computer with any spyware or virus, because it was turned off. It did cost me another $21.50 for shipping, but I live in a rural area so it would have cost me that much in gas to go get one in the nearest city. Then I spent $12 for an A/C adapter, which brought my total expense up to $60 for the entire project. I am a happy camper with a sweet dedicated Internet machine.
Did you see how OldBuddy solved that problem. With a laptop dedicated to use for surfing for credits. My first computers came from peoples garbage. Sadly the recycling center gets them now! :( My first laptop I found in the garbage of a major brokerage firm, it had a docking station as well. Have a Dell laptop which is the first one I purchased and last year I got a Compaq/HP laptop. I want a kindle/tablet to use while out and about. ;D But since it will not have enough power to run an external DVD drive, I will have to look around awhile. Working from a PC right now, my brother build and shipped from CA.

Mostly use a desktop computer, but have a laptop for when we have to travel, which isn't much.
Do not have a tablet, and don't really need one at this point.

Laptop or tablet for travel and desktop for home use. :thumbsup:

I have also wondered about getting a tablet. But wondered what I really need it for? I appreciate all the reponses you have gotten.
-
I use a desktop most of the time. I have a tablet for PTC sites that I have to click on to watch videos. I was tired of all the viruses I was getting on my desktop so now I use a tablet for those sites.

I only have a desktop computer. :'( I would love to have a laptop so that I can do my stuff while traveling, but I suppose beggars cannot be choosers, eh? At least I have a computer after all!! :thumbsup:
-
I use my laptop for most things, and my tablet only for browsing sometimes especially when I am not in the living room.
-
I don't own a laptop or a tablet. I like my desktop since I custom built it myself and I normally just use it to watch youtube videos, play facebook games and just about everything else.
-
I use both a laptop and a computer. The laptop is my sons. So I use it when the computer is in for upgrades. :)

I prefer the desktop. But I do also own an iPad and an iPhone. I was also thinking about a laptop though.

I've used both a desktop and a laptop. My preference is for a laptop.
-
Desktops last longer and are upgradeable.
-
I use my laptop or my husband's desktop for web browsing and surveys. When I get my tablet, I will be able to to do alot of this on there as well. Although, I won't be able to do Fusion Cash or other occasional surveys for other sites on it because it is android. It's okay though because I can take my tablet with me where ever I go, such as a doctor's office or resturaunt, and play games or surf the web if they have wi fi.

laptop goes every where i go. use it to keep in touch with every one. desktop to print off directions and pictures
-
It really depends on what you are using it for. I have a desktop and a laptop. I would like to own a tablet someday but they are exspensive. Desk tops hold more information than laptops.

Laptop

I have both a desktop and laptop, but no tablet. I'd like having a tablet though, for more portable web surfing, but those things are expensivee. For now, I use my laptop a lot more than my desktop since I'm actually living on school campus. But when I go home, I prefer using my desktop.
-
I like my laptop because that is all I have right now. I would prefer a tablet for casual browsing online because my laptop gets heavy after a while. :p
