I use both laptop and phone about equally. Right now I am having problems with the laptop and TCS - the pages keep switching on me - so I'm in my phone. The problem is I can't post links on my phone which limits its usefulness.

100% desktop here at the house.

My son wants me to get a laptop, but I don't like the swipy thingy.  I like my mouse.  And the phone just talks and texts...but it does those things very well and reliably.

You can get a mouse for a laptop.  I have one - it's USB, wireless and I think it cost under $25.00.    I got it for my last laptop when the trackpad went bad so don't use it much now, but it worked very nicely.

I have a mouse on my laptop too. It plugs into the USB port on the side ( I HATE a wireless mouse!) I got mine at WalMart for $8

I only have a tablet so that's what I use. I hope to get a laptop soon and the tablet will go to my son.

Usually I use my phone. I use the desktop computer mostly just for photoshop or research.
I prefer laptops over the desktop computer, but I have the slowest laptop in the planet. I don't even have the patience to wait for the internet to open!

I mostly use my desktop, which is upstairs on my desk. We have a laptop in the living room. Hubby uses that, but I can check my email on it. I don't like using a laptop so I don't use it for internet stuff.

I'm almost always on a chromebook, though I'll occasionally use my phone and will rarely use my laptop. (The poor thing's really slow now and needs to rest after a few years of being dragged to college.)
