[Laura PourMeADrink]

4. Just added

[DURHAM D]

8. Dont most people use just one hand on tablets and ipads? nt

[Laura PourMeADrink]

14. ???? I don't know

[Nevilledog]

2. IPad Pro 12.9 inch

[Laura PourMeADrink]

6. :). Guess I shoulda done it by screen size:(. Duh

[Nevilledog]

7. Then there would have been too many options!

[Elessar Zappa]

31. Same!

[Nevilledog]

33. I love mine. Can't even remember the last time I used a computer.

[herding cats]

59. Same here.

I still use a laptop for work but my iPad Pro is my device of choice for everything else.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

62. How is it different than IPad Air? My friend just bought one for her boyfriend and he loves it.

Unfortunately I am still stuck on windows op system. Just seems more logical to me. Have an IPad but never use it. Wonder if I could change

[herding cats]

64. A pro has a bigger screen, processor and more memory.

It can use the pencil and feels a natural fit with a keyboard (which I use only if I'm working) more so than the air I had before. I can use apps which make it work well for my business and home needs. It has a more than decent rear facing camera for zoom meetings and an excellent front facing camera for pics of the kiddos and kitties, or whatever your groove is.

I think for most folks, the air is perfect. It's powerful, lighter and more easily hand held than the pro. I'd never have changed if not for needing a bigger (but not too big) on the go device.

I'm an Apple person mostly. My work issued me an iPhone some years ago and drew me in. Apple Watch, iPods, MacBook and my iPad. I do have a gaming PC which is windows which I adore, so I guess I'm into both OS's just for different reasons.

I know folks who love their chrome tablet's, too. Those have a windows mode, no app needed I'm told.

It's just a matter of preference. If your phone is android, I'd say go for an android based tablet, same for iOS.

[dweller]

3. Over the years

I’ve used all the choices … now just phone


✌🏻

[elleng]

5. What's the difference between large and small laptop???

[Nevilledog]

9. Size

[Laura PourMeADrink]

15. Lol

[LuckyCharms]

18. Size doesn't matter.

[Nevilledog]

22. Not after you've spent your life lying about what 8" is....

[LuckyCharms]

23. 8 inches???????

That's like... 6 times the normal size!!

Right?

Isn't it?

[Nevilledog]

24. Sure, Stumpy

[LuckyCharms]

30. Please, I consider you a friend, and my friends normally call me

"Chappy"

[Nevilledog]

35. I really don't know how to respond to that.

That's seems to be more a personal hygiene issue.



Oh.... The size of a Chapstick!

Right?

[DURHAM D]

10. I mentioned size because I move my small laptop around the house and travel with it.

My larger laptop stays in one place, as it does for pretty much everyone I know.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

12. Excellent question. Shows how little I know:). Actually I was just trying

To prove a point that we used to look at photograph entries to our contests on our old clunky desktops.. & now much smaller screens. I am an unofficial... Very unofficial critiquer of photographs

Should I add sizes?

[Emile]

11. Android tablet mostly, sometimes my phone.

[elleng]

13. 8 x 12" laptop

which I move between rooms, morning and evening.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

16. Nice. Can you get texts hooked in? Guess I'm in a texting

World so use phone 24/7

[elleng]

20. My phone is old flip, can with difficulty take pics on Nikon of phone screen,

but don't know about hooking up texts; might be possible.

[Nevilledog]

25. If you have an iPhone you can get calls and texts right on your iPad.

[highplainsdem]

17. Tablet sometimes (including now). Large laptop other times.

I prefer the laptop for posting replies, since I can type close to 80 wpm on a regular keyboard.

[LuckyCharms]

19. 95% desktop computer, 5% phone. n/t

[wendyb-NC]

21. I use my small laptop

It's a chromebook with an 11" screen.

[Captain Zero]

26. I view it on both, pretty much equally.

nt

[MustLoveBeagles]

27. PC

It's easier to read that way

[Treefrog]

28. Varies.

[Shermann]

29. Caffeine! nt

[WarGamer]

32. Other.

Because a Mac Desktop user can't call it a PC!!!!!

lol...

[Laura PourMeADrink]

41. Sorry.. obviously I used old technology lexicon :(

[WarGamer]

45. that's not on you!!!

It's those crazy Mac people!!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

49. Lol. I'm a Windows Op System person

[Dysfunctional]

34. I use a desktop with a 43" 4k tv as a monitor.

Print is at 150% so I don't have to wear glasses.

[IcyPeas]

36. desktop and samsung tablet

[Wingus Dingus]

37. Medium sized laptop.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

38. Mostly on my desktop computer.

When travelling, on my laptop.

I cannot abide trying to type on a phone, which is why I don't text very much. I'm a very good touch typist, not so good at a finger or two.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

44. Agree! There is nothing as good as a keyboard & desktop

Hands down for lightning speed

[Meowmee]

39. Why do you ask?

[Laura PourMeADrink]

42. Hello!!! Just asking cuz I HAD this theory that people

were viewing photographs on a small device. Which distorted their value. First time I was wrong ( today)
.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

46. I personally use my phone to text or make actual phone calls.

I don't use it as an all purpose computer, because the screen is simply to small, and as noted, I can't touch type on it.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

47. Probably why I need a new set of eyes...:)

[Meowmee]

50. Ok

I use an ipad and sometimes laptop mostly. The issues I am having is that the type is very small here even when I enlarge it in the browser it doesn’t get bigger put it on mobile view here it’s too big.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

51. Did you change font size in settings? Or sounds like

You may have display zoom below 100%????

[Meowmee]

52. Yes even at 300 tiny letters

I did that on my aA at the browser and here I think, i have forgotten now. But my eyes have adjusted a bit. It is still hard to read at times, but I can enlarge with my fingers etc.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

53. Girl! That is definitely not right. Get a guru to look at it

Your settings are messed up.

[Meowmee]

54. Yes

Something is weird for sure. I have to find someone. Ugh.

[Raine]

40. Mostly my tablet, now and then my phone. nt

[Laura PourMeADrink]

43. I was SO wrong... Thought phone would be #1

[Polybius]

55. The average age of DU is near 60

Why would you think that phones would be number 1? I'm actually shocked that it's not under 15%.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

61. I guess because of phone calls and texting. All in one.??

[electric_blue68]

67. I've been on line since one of the first Computer Cafes in The East Village NYC '95..

I nwver ever had a computer ($) until I was give one from an office upgrade but still couldn't afford WiFi . Thus The Library is my friend. When I did get my first tablet the library offered Free WiFi. (I still take books out but w Covid it's been ebooks)

Finally I got a smartphone (vs previous basic cells) just as NYC was closing down w a a good unlimited talk/text/data plan. 👍

I have a tablet that I have get online with to get it going. I might be able to use the phone as a hotspot for the tablet.
Then I could use that, as well.

With the phone if something intense good or (😔 bad is happening) I can keep tabs on it out and about w my smartphone. 👍

[Victor_c3]

66. Me too

Since I first got a smart phone in 2014, I’ve almost completely stopped using a desktop or laptop computer unless I have serious work to do (word processing, CAD, excel, ….)

[Initech]

48. 85% laptop, 10% phone / iPad, 5% desktop

[GP6971]

56. I use my tablet

early in the morning and then on my laptop the rest of the day.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

57. It ain't actually a desktop; I keep banging the thing with my knee.

It's old but still working with 41 tabs open.

3601.90 bogomips! Longtime release kernel 5.10.10-64 is getting a little long in the tooth but EOL is 2026.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

60. Nothing better!!!! Nothing as simple and easy!

[pecosbob]

58. 34" LG Ultrawide Monitor

i5-10600K, 32Gb, Radeon RX 5700 (at the moment).

[48656c6c6f20]

63. Jumbotron

[EnergizedLib]

65. It's usually my phone

Like I’m doing right now.

If it’s a thought out topic I’m creating, I’ll use the laptop.

[tavernier]

68. I haven't had or needed a computer for years.

I was doing more and more on my iPhone and my computer was constantly having some kind of problems or bugs regardless of the anti-bug programs that I had installed. My life seems to be much easier now. One stop shopping.
