| 1488768 | 2022-10-09 04:33:00 | I know with a IT group many of us are into gaming etc . . . or they may have other interests like photography . Speaking of the masses out there . PCs were said to be unpopular and then it may had been laptop's turn . For a typical family or household do they still use much PCs or laptops? That is after the kids leave school / university . We often hear that the kids have a laptop for uni but some adults just use their phone or tablet . Are much families gonna fire up MS Office on a weekend or take their laptop to the coffee shop these days? Someone spoke to me about my second hand laptop I got several years ago . I just seldom use it and I said some years ago it would prob be my last laptop and if not for my photography there may not be a use of my PC . Cheers . |

Try opening several spreadsheets or documents, or accounting programs on a phone all at the same time -- yeah - Nahhhh not going to work. |

| 1488771 | 2022-10-09 07:22:00 | I’d have thought most use has moved to laptops now . Work has . Kid has, wife has . I have a “desktop” that is mostly a light’s out server now . Runs vms . One of them is my desktop . Which I rdp from a laptop . Doesn’t bother me . |

Laptops to me are just toys and I never have any use for them away from home. My work laptop, while it doesn’t have the storage, quite happily drives 2 24” screens. And if I can be bothered also the laptop screen. But storage is on the sever system I connect to via rdp. |

| 1488774 | 2022-10-09 17:27:00 | Wife works from home and accounts work and spreadsheets would be a PITA on a tablet. I do a bit of stuff with TOPO maps and occasionally some drawing of parts to make which would be very hard to do on a tablet. Most other stuff we do on our phones, apart from watching videos, I refuse to do that on my phone as the screen is just way too small. | gary67 (56) | ||
| 1488775 | 2022-10-09 20:33:00 | For sure......it's on the way out. Yes business people do...but that's a small part of usage. And now, I have had supermarket delivery people, couriers, tradies turn up and do stuff on tablets or phones. No-one lugs a laptop around now. Back at the office, yes, a phone or tablet isn't easy to use there.... Granddaughter now gave up, she has a playstation for gaming and used phone for everything else. She did have a PC and laptop before. |

| 1488776 | 2022-10-10 05:22:00 | I think I might have a pc problem. Have a gaming PC I use for most things, a media PC in the lounge for streaming and music / videos / some gaming, a NUC that used to do the same job in the bedroom but currently is unemployed, a laptop that can game ok for when I'm away from home but really is just used for an occasional movie in bed, and a tablet that I use for email and browsing etc in the bedroom because it's easier than booting up the laptop :) And there's only me at home.... |

Sounds about right, what's wrong with that. |
