I've started using my tablet more often, but I'm usually on my laptop when I'm not on the PS3/PS4.

I might use my laptop more often, I find it more convenient for browsing and Netflix, but the tablet is always around.

Desktop for streaming stuff to watch and streaming stuff for others to view on Justin.TV and laptop for 90% of everything else.

I've built a PC for gaming and just for fun, but unfortunately I haven't used it in a long time. I bought a laptop for my barracks room/deployment and currently that's what I use now.

I have my retina MacBook Pro, it's my work machine, flies with adobe creative suite. When at home I have a pc for gaming and just general tinkering around and a 27" iMac for music and media storage. For walking around the house i just use my retina ipad mini, love the form factor and screen. So I use all three in different ways.
Is the screen on the rMini as washed out as people say? Looking at getting one while my MBP is in for a new screen because of image retention. Gonna take two weeks with no option of bribing them for quicker service haha.

The only desktop computer I use is at work.
At home, I've been using a Laptop (Dell Inspiron 17R) for the last three years. We moved house three years ago when I still had a desktop but as we were downsizing (house wise), saving space become a priority to it had to go. It was only an old machine anyway and the laptop does all the functions my old desktop did just as well… I do have a proper mouse with it as I can't stand using those built in square pad things.
However it seems to be developing a bit of a fault as of late. It really struggles to wirelessly connect to my home hub – which is a matter of six feet away behind a wall. I have to keep turning the laptop on and off and eventually it'll connect to it. Sometimes after just one restart – sometimes after about six. I haven't a clue what's gone wrong but it's becoming increasingly irritating. It’s not the home hub either because another laptop at home has no problem with it and above all that, we got a brand new one a few weeks back. The same problem persists and just with my laptop…
I also have an iPod Touch which was bought for me as a present. I've no idea what version – it's about three years old. I mainly use this if I'm in bed or have it plugged into it's dock for the music on it (I've got a large tower speaker which is about four foot high – really decent sound quality too). It also acts as my 'main' camera as I'm too much of a cheap-stake to buy a proper one. I occasionally use it for Facebook/Twitter also but that’s about it.
A 'tablet' to me is something you take when you’re ill…! I really dislike that terminology when it comes to iPods/Pads and such devices…

I just have a Toshiba laptop at home, I rarely use it for general web browsing as I stick to my iPhone for that.
The only time I use the laptop is when I'm watching illegal football streams and playing FM

Yes. Yes. and Yes! I use my laptop probably the most but I have a 27" iMac that I'm going to be using as my main photography computer for editing. My iPad is used typically for randomness. I was painting the kitchen last night and I was watching tv shows on the iPad because it was movable. If I have a few things to do before bed, I may take the iPad and reply to e-mails or whatever. It's less hassle than pulling out my laptop.

I am currently without a desktop due to my motherboard frying. I miss my PC more than anything because it was my go-to for gaming, but now I have nothing but my Ps3. I am currently using a Chromebook for basic internet, etc.

I use a combination of the 3 but I spend most of my time at my desktop that is in my office. I just feel like when I use my desktop that I am able to get alot more work done then if I was using my laptop or my ipad or something.

I have a windows 8 hybrid (tablet + keyboard thing)
I like the interface, but the weak CPU is bothersome when doing heavy tasks (it is an atom based tablet).

I have a laptop and a desktop. I usually have my laptop on my bed so i can watch movies, Youtube videos and stuff. The desktop i mostly use it for gaming and listening to music on weekends when i'm having a drink. I've got it hooked up to the stereo, so the music sounds great. I also like watching rock concerts on my desktop. As far as tablets go, i still haven't got around getting one.
