Do you use a desktop computer?

[Nick1994]

No need for a computer in my personal life except to do my taxes once a year.

For work I have a laptop and docking station for 2-27" 4K monitors. The laptop is used as a 3rd monitor, it's also 4K.

Yes for my home use and yes for my office for MOAR SCREENZ. I have a personal laptop that I carry around with me for work just in case but I dislike doing anything for work on such a small screen.

Desktop. More durable than a laptop, bigger screen, real mouse.

I have both a desktop and laptop. I much prefer the desktop.

I have a Ryzen 5 desktop that is hardly turned on anymore. Think the last game I played was Age of Empires 2, lol.

My MacBook Pro is docked when in my office and I have a 27" monitor connected to it. I would say I spend the majority of my time on a laptop whether it is docked or not.

Seems that fewer and fewer people do. I use a laptop, tablet, and phone. What about you?

I have a few and desk tops are all I use.

It's about required capabilities and convenience. Desktop at home, laptop on the go, mobile phone when the laptop becomes inconvenient. How long I need to use the device also matters. I'd hate having to work for more than an hour on a laptop even though my laptop can do almost everything my desktop can do and it has a great display. I much prefer a mechanical keyboard and a good-size display at eye level vs looking down at at tilted-up laptop screen. The phone is good for text, email, browsing, basic mapping, and some other things. Currently I use my desktop probably 2 hours a day. a laptop one hour, and my phone intermittently 24/7. The device I like the least, albeit it being a necessity, is the phone because it's the most intrusive.

Unless you are traveling, why would anyone want to use a phone or even a laptop to get online if you have a desktop available? I don't have fat fingers, but typing anything much longer than a sentence on a phone is a pain. Not to mention navigating around the screen without a mouse.

I have a desktop and laptop at home. For those saying they need bigger screens and full size keyboards, you can connect these to pretty much any laptop or use a docking station.

For work I have a Dell Precision laptop and docking stations for the office and home office. I have 2 monitors (total of 3 using the laptop display) and a keyboard connected to a docking station.

My main PC at home is a desktop from 2012. With a solid state drive it is every bit as respsonsive as the 3 year old laptop I have from work.

My work computer is a laptop...

At the office, I have a supplied thunderbolt docking station with 2 monitors, keyboard, and mouse.

Working from home, I have a monitor (LG widescreen, I forget the size) attached to the HDMI and keyboard and mouse attached to a USB hub hooked up to the laptop

Desktop haven't touched one in years. iPhone XR - 7 yr old android tablet - chromebook in my lineup.

 

[Silver]

At work exclusively. At home, an old desktop that was basically NAS for a while until I plugged a hard drive into a Raspberry Pi. Now the desktop just sits and serves print jobs to a non-wireless printer.

 

[GrtArtiste]

I have 2 desktops and use both almost everyday. Never wanted a laptop. I do have a smartphone...but wish I did not need to.

 

[Eddie]

23-inch desktop. I don't care for little screens and flat keyboards unless I'm on the road. Ed

 

[OVERKILL]

Almost always since I'm mostly working from home right now due to my surgery. I have a laptop (MBP) but I haven't used it much in the last 6 months. This old Mac Pro has two 27" screens and I can have tons of stuff open. I also use an ergonomic keyboard.

 

[Bud]

Desktop for me.

Desktop.

Once GPU prices return to some level of acceptable I’ll be building a gaming desktop. For now, it’s either my phone or MacBook Pro.
