Poll coming up ASAP. Genuinely curious after ChankMcStank brought up in the other thread that the desktop PC market is dying / stagnant / usurped by mobile computing.
Thinkpad X230, Note 2, and custom-built i7 Ivy with 16GB RAM, and Dual 7870s. Owned a Acer W510 and W700 but sold them for the Thinkpad.
I have a desktop that I use frequently, a laptop I use rarely, a non-smartphone, and a Nook I use rarely.
everything on the list at least two each. Three pcs, three smart phones, two three non smart phones, two laptops, four pads, gps, cameras, internet radios. The list grows every year.
I guess if you count my old Nokia sitting in my nightstand and the old Dell Axim x51v PDA I never use any more, I've got all of 'em.
Power Mac G5 MacBook Pro w/ Retina Display iPhone 4S (iPhone 5s next week – breaking my Sprint contract once I hit the 7 month mark) iPad (first gen – I may yet buy another, but iPhone comes first) Apple TV iPod Shuffle Nike+ Fuel Band Nokia 3588i (no longer in use, but it's my backup phone)
Desktop PC appropriately is a dying product. Mobility/Convenience over Stationary, thats fairly easy to advance past really. I got a smartphone on 4G, old rotting desktop PC, a passable mp3 player. All I need. I used to think I'd be at the forefront of geek tech. Go-Go Gadget Everything. Now I don't care much. Its not whats important in life. (I don't care about "wearable computing" near as much as I thought I would) I don't think Skynet is upon us but I don't think the tools define US, its WE at ALL TIMES control the tools. (But we just can't help ourselves) But I'll be getting a laptop/tablet for Christmas to retire the desktop, can't wait. And I'll get some health & exercise equipment, Nike+Fuelband, etc. THATS whats important.
Myself: W7 laptop, Chromebook and Android phone. Wife: Nexus 7 and (soon to be) iPhone 5S Son: Chromebook and HTC One.
