I spend most of my internet time on my phone or IPad. Hardly on a PC or laptop. But the PC and laptop use is mostly for business software.

I'm the opposite. Most of my internet time is spent on the desktop. Either the multi-monitor desk or the TV hooked into the PC. The only thing I use my phone for is calls, messaging when not at a PC, or listening to pod casts on my commute home. I loath typing on a touch screen.

I am a mix... All of my work is done is done on desktop because laptops don't really have the computing power necessary for my work. At home I do a fair bit of gaming and music production so it's mainly desktop. Writing is mostly done on my laptop, note taking is on a tablet and everything else is phone. Yes I am a huge geek

Thing is, I like the idea of general purpose computing. Being able to run the software I want without Nanny Apple telling me "NO!" Or try to push me to put data on their f**king cloud. Remember the stunt they tried to pull in late 2013 by disabling USB and WiFi synching of mobile devices and mandating use of iCloud? They backtracked after outcry from privacy-conscious Europeans, but f**k them for even trying it.

iPad is the computing equivalent of San Quentin. I'm quite happy with my Windows 7 Pro Thinkpad. X201, basically IBM's answer to the Macbook Air.
