Desktop vs Laptop

[Smithy]

Do you currently use a desktop or laptop when viewing websites. forums etc?

I use a desktop a lot easier to navigate through things.

Laptop, since I like the portability.

Laptop. It is on my kitchen table. The desktop is allllll the way in the computer room.

I use an iPad, and it does everything I need to to do and is SO much easier to use than a laptop or desktop, either one. I have the external keyboard, so it functions basically like a laptop does; but it has touchscreen, and all of the Apple Apps instead of using websites for most things. My keyboard is an Apple Magic Keyboard look-alike, so I can just lift the iPad off the keyboard when i need to hold it for digital artwork. The keyboard has a backlight, so I can turn that on when I need it a little brighter.
I also have an iPad Mini, and I use that for reading because it is the perfect size for that. I seldom type anything with the mini, so it does not need the external keyboard.
This is my large iPad and keyboard case, with my Apple Pencil at the top.

I prefer the desktop but I have a laptop too. They are both older now and I have decided not to replace the desktop. I will either buy a new laptop or maybe just a keyboard for my IPad. I needed all these contraptions when I was working but now I don’t. It’s time for me to simplify as they age out.

I have both, but my desktop is down due to missing parts at the moment. But now all I need is a KB / Mouse combo and a bigger desk. I originally bought my laptop to use as a streaming TV, but while I was in the hospital two years ago, my daughter and 2 of her boy toys went to Eureka and moved my son and I to Edison, and they only brought about 2/3s of our stuff. Other things they "forgot" were we had two main stereo systems in the house, they brought one speaker from each one. Since they don't match, they're unusable until I can find a match for them. (If ever...)

We have both, but I prefer the desktop for most things. I have two. I also have a laptop that we bought to use on the train when we did long distance travel by train (my favorite mode of long distance travel). I got a big laptop with a 10 key pad and a DVD player to watch movies on the train and on the planes. I also have a Kindle that has replaced the laptop for most portable functions. It is lighter and easy to use with an external keyboard similar to the one @Yvonne Smith showed with her iPad. Most of my work and play is on the desktop. Wife uses her phone for most things.
