I feel that most people "consume" the internet rather than create content. The rise of tablets is fine for those who click on a news website or a social media app with easy-to-navigate links. They rarely type anything; they would prefer to click and scroll everything they see on their screen. My desktop with large, high-resolution monitors allows me to type and edit lengthy documents, make complex spreadsheets, edit HD videos, store uncompressed music library with full tagging, and play modern games. I can't see any non-desktop devices doing that like my desktop. I think people like me will be a minority from now and on, yet we'll always be here. Thus the desktop market will reach a lower plateau and remain there. The screen size, the feel of a great keyboard and mouse, the number of ports for peripherals, the ease of repairing the machine, the sheer processing advantage, and the bang-for-your-buck make desktops my primary computer.
Laptop and smartphone. Smartphone I probably on really "use" in restaurants or airports: I've never texted for any non-work situation; and I wouldn't have switched to touchscreens if I hadn't had such a horrific experience with my first Blackberry last year.
Desktop PC, Thinkpad Laptop, Ipad 2, Samsung Series 7 Slate, Microsoft Surface RT, Lumia 920 smartphone. I think that's it for my stuff. My wife has several devices of her own as well in the house.
All of the above. I'm a tech junkie. Computing and phone wise: MacBook Pro (2009) iMac 2012 Desktop (AMD x6 Phenom II, 16GB) Desktop (mid-range) Nexus 4 Nexus 10 Tablet Once the Surface 2 is announced next week, going to decide between getting that or upgrading to a Macbook Air.
Desktop for personal and as a media server Laptop for school/work iPad given as gift, rarely use Smartphone use daily
And a phone is even easier than that. I know there are good reasons to have one, but none of those apply to me.
