Is your main "computer" a Desktop, Laptop, or a Smartphone?

Smartphone

I don't use my laptop very often anymore, but it's still my main form of "doing things;" like watching Netflix and movies, work stuff, and online shopping. A phone is more for pleasure it for a quick surf to a webpage.

My Surface pro 3 is my main right now, but it's on my desk connected to an external monitor and I have a keyboard/mouse plugged in, so it's being used as a desktop basically lol.

Until Samsung DEX has more apps supported and the hardware is up to scratch (AT LEAST 6GB RAM in the phone), my main computer remains my laptop.

My S7 Edge does a fantastic job at allowing me to do a lot away from my desk e.g. Editing Excel, PowerPoint and Word documents, as well as checking Campaign Performance on Google AdWords, FB Adverts and Twitter Ads, as well as Website performance in Google Analytics, BUT I require a Laptop + 25inch 2nd Monitor to actually sit and analyse data as well as report, and optimise it.

It's still my laptop! But admittedly, I'm more active on my phone than my laptop; but any "work" or productivity assignments I do are always on my laptop.

my main computer is a desktop. however, all my media content is mainly on smartphones.

When I'm out and about, my phone is my primary computing device. When I'm on campus or in a coffee shop, my iPad Pro takes over.

When at home, however, my battlestation becomes my primary

I use my phone most of the time. But using a Desktop is more productive.

Agreed! A desktop gives you more screen real estate and is overall an easier outlet to use than the small screen of a phone - even a phablet.

For me I put it in terms of using cars. My phone is like my little coupe that I drive to work every day and drive 95% of the time. My laptop, like my truck, is my beater for when I "need to go to home depot"

I use an HP Spectre x360 15t as my laptop. Of course, I use my phone more frequently than the laptop but I'm also not home all the time to use it. I'm using my laptop mainly for games, CAD, serious research into a project, or other productivity thing. Phone for entertainment, social media, and the like.

Desk top is what I use 85.625 % of the time when inside my house.
When out in the yard or anywhere away from my house then its one of my smart phones.

Desktop. My phone with a Bluetooth keyboard replaced my need for a laptop. I am waiting for a Chromebook...maybe. Laptops were "desktop alternatives" and the Chromebook will the the "Smartphone alternative".

 

[vivek dwivedi2]

it depends on your definition of " the main computer". I spent most of the time on mobile so if you consider your main computer by the time you spent on it so it will be smartphone whearas i do all my official and important work from my laptop so if consider it by work it will laptop. and i dont have a desktop

Mine is a Samsung laptop, Ativ Book 8, but planning to get a desktop one day

I like to use my phone to deal with things, but sometimes, I have to use my laptop to work.

 

[Hans Swolfs]

Quite some years ago, the Surface Pro 3 replaced my laptop, desktop and Nexus tablet and it's still going strong!
On my desk I use it docked to the Surface dock with 2 24" screens, mouse, keyboard, wired network etc...

Since a month or so I also have a Samsung S8 and I must admit that for some basic stuff I use Dex as well since I have a dedicated monitor with mouse & keyboard as well.
But if I need power for real productivity (making websites, photography stuff, ...) I still rely on my Surface.

I have a laptop at work, a desktop at home, and a smartphone in my pocket all the time.

If "main computer" is defined as TIME spent on it : 40% laptop, 40% phone, 20% desktop

If "main computer" is defined as MONEY spent on it (purchase, upgrade, apps, accessories) : 90% phone, 10% desktop, 0% laptop.

I spent more money on my phone than on my desktop, so by money spent, the phone is by far my "main computer"
