| 1319887 | 2012-12-23 10:34:00 | I am just interested to know how many devices you have and how you spread the uses across them ... I myself have a PC, a laptop too with studies and a Smartphone. I don't intend to get a tablet since I have a laptop, tablet will just be used at home cos I don't take it out, on travel I like to go light. Smartphone is good enough. |

| 1319889 | 2012-12-23 11:22:00 | Internet-connected devices between my wife and I we have: 3 Desktops (One each and a spare gaming one) 2 Laptops 3 Smartphones (I've just upgraded, one's about to be sold) 1 Tablet (N7) 1 Wii 1 Wii U 1 SmartTV 1 Fileserver 1 WDTV Live 1 PlayOn Media Player 2 TiVos 2 ATA Adapters for personal phone line 1 VoIP phone for work Do I count the Bluray player and the Onkyo receiver, even though they basically do nothing online and we never use their online functionality? ;-) We go through anywhere from 80GB -> 190GB a month. Take my N4 with me everywhere and my N7 most places. |

| 1319890 | 2012-12-23 13:21:00 | Between two of us . . . 1x Desktop PCs, one with dual monitors 1x HTPC (will probably sell, redundant now) 2x Laptops, VAIO Z (i7) and HP ProBook (i5) Bought a ZenBook before going overseas in May but sold it after we got back . Even though the VAIO Z is 3 years old, it is still better than most recent releases . The Zenbook is no lighter than my VAIO Z, although thinner, but not full HD screen . The VAIO Z is lighter than the MacBookAir 13", and complete with DVD writer and all ports one would need (no USB3 though, 3x USB2, VGA+HDMI+LAN+Express card slot) Dual memory card readers (MS and SD) and Full 1920x1080 HD screen, 8GB RAM and 256GB SSD (Quad 64GB RAID) . and backlit keyboard, really missed that when using the Zenbook . 1x File server PC, DLNA and VoIP server (3CX and Asterisk) 1x ATA adapter for VoIP 1x Galaxy S3 1x Galaxy Note 2 1x Galaxy Tab 7 . 7 1x Freebie Huawei Smartphone 2x Galaxy WiFi Players (to be sold) 1x WD TV Live (To be sold) 2x MHL adapters (To be sold, was for S2 and Note) 2x Panasonic SmartTVs 1x DVR and 3D BluRay, both internet enabled . 2x Old DVRs, use with old 32" TV in garage 1x Dlink IP Cam 2x Bluetooth speakers 2x Network Printers 2x USB Freeview Tuners for the laptops (rarely used) 1x Video Capture card in the desktop PC, for capturing any legacy video tapes etc, kept one VCR for that purpose . 1x Android media player, never used, bought it from a supplier to try, never got around to it and totally redundant now with the SmartTVs and AllShare on the Galaxy gadgets . A few more old PCs and laptops, just for testing and for parts . Mix of Windows XP Pro SP3, Vista SP2, Windows 7 Pro SP1 and just got a new Samsung 840Pro SSD and Windows8 Pro to play with . Only installed the Win8 in a VM so far, will see how I like it before upgrading either my Desktop PC (XP) or Windows7 on my VAIO . Still prefer XP when it comes to copying files across the network, both Vista and Windows7 suck! Get RichCopy if you need to copy large amount of files in a hurry; i . e . copying 20K email at 1am the night before flying overseas . >_< Mind you, all my email accounts are routed through Gmail now, so all I need is my phone if I am in dire need to find an old email . Use my desktop and laptops everyday . Always have my laptop and 2 Smartphones with me when I am out and about for work . Otherwise, just the two phones . Used to take the Galaxy Tab 7 . 7 (stunning screen) with me along with the laptop, but don't use it much now since I got my Note2 . Will keep it as a glorified photo frame and giant media player and remote . Will probably use it more when I can get JellyBean onto it . The Note2 basically does everything and fits in my pocket, have used it in place of a laptop to RDP many times for work . It can easily beam any photos and videos to both SmartTVs and music to bluetooth speakers, can play EVERYthing from the file server via WiFi . Wish I can get the dual SIM version of the Note2 though (only available in China), would save carrying two phones . Both SmartTVs can play "most" files from the file server via WiFi or LAN as well, haven't figure out why some doesn't play yet . The WebCam bundled with the SmartTV is brilliant, it is so much better to Skype on 55" than 5 . 5" LOL With 3CX or Asterisk and the ATA adapter, my landline phone calls can follow me on my smartphone (free, as it is routed via the internet) . I can pick up calls made to my landline with a SIP phone app on the Note2 and check voice mail while overseas . I can also make FREE local calls back here from anywhere in the world via my home line using the SIP phone app . The Dlink IP cam was bundled with a router, so was FREE, can monitor my puppy while we are out and about . ;-) P . S . For people who think Android is hard to use, I got my mum (70+) onto an old Galaxy S and within minutes she can WhatsApp, sending and receiving IM, Photos & Videos, she can Skype and email us irrespective where I am . Up until she got this new "old" phone, she has never ever been able to TXT before, now she makes smart comments complimented by all the emoticons in WhatsApp! She loves viewing photos and videos on the bigger screen compare to the dumb phones she had before . She still doesn't understand any of it, just know enough to do what she needs . |

| 1319895 | 2012-12-23 19:28:00 | Between myself, my wife, and our 3 year old - 4 desktops, 2 laptops, 2 netbooks, 3 tablets, 3 smartphones, a Wii and an AndroidTV. The phones, tablets and desktops get used near-daily, the laptops/netbooks occasionally for travel and to be honest the Wii and ATV hardly get touched. | inphinity (7274) | ||
| 1319896 | 2012-12-23 19:38:00 | 1.8 PCs. Not quite 2, because I haven't got around to getting another mouse, so that gets swapped around a bit. Lucky it's just me (Although I let my upstairs neighbour leech off the my internet usage) |
