I should clarify my earlier post:
Those are the devices I have (I guess I also have a Lumia 520 hiding somewhere that's useless to me now as the insider builds have stopped for it). The devices I use frequently is a shorter list:
The device that gets the most use by far is the iPhone. It's what all this and the last post have been typed on, for instance.
After that, I use the gaming PC and the Nextbook more often than anything else other than possibly the consoles (of which I have 30 some, including all the current stuff and going back to, and even past the Atari 2600).
The Mac and the iPad are only getting fairly marginal use right now.
And the Android and Ubuntu stuff are getting effectively zero use and are all still packed away from the move a couple months ago.
CM12 is too sluggish and buggy on the Thinkpad to be a daily driver. RemixOS is phenomenal in concept, but there were too many apps that either didn't work well, or didn't work at all, and the remix mini device itself was too underpowered to have real staying power.
The Acer was so underpowered that it could barely run Win7. Installing Ubuntu was an improvement, but only so much of one. Still really sluggish, with an uninspiring display and an interface where it's waaaaaaaayyy too easy to accidentally bump the mouse and wipe out all your work.
Also, for as much as I love the idea of Ubuntu and other Linux distros, and for as much as I have genuinely enjoyed my limited exposure to it, I just haven't been able to find a permanent need for it in my life, so the bug hasn't really bit, you could say.
So, mostly iPhone with a healthy side of Win10 on PC and 2-in-1, assorted game console Garni, and a dash of Mac and iPad. But I'd like to find a better way to get some meaningful Android and/or Ubuntu into my diet. The Chromebook should help a lot with the first one. I'd also like to learn how to just put my damned phone down more often, so I can get more use and enjoyment out of these other shiny electronic gadgets which collect dust in my castle.
