Tablet, I got one a number of years ago and hardly ever used it. I now have a 2-1 that is smaller than average for a laptop. It has the touchscreen and can be folded so it is like a tablet so if I wanted a tablet I could have it.

Tablet or television. I can watch most tv shows on my laptop right now, though if we cut cable and our dvr, we'll have to figure out how to record things for me. But the big screen is nice sometimes. I play a few games on my tablet or use it as an e-reader, but I could do all that on my phone. So tablet might be my final answer.

Since I never had the need for a tablet that one can go.

Television. I use the other three so much more. I've only kept my TV because I think a living room looks weird without one :lol:

I haven't used a computer outside of work for years. I always use my phone or tablet. So that's probably what I'd pick. TV could go too, because I mainly watch shows and movies on my tablet.

The lines are kind of blurred, though. A lot of tablets are just laptops without keyboards and vice versa. And smart TVs are almost computers. It's basically just a matter of size.

Since I have my computer hooked up to my television, and I definitely need a phone, it will have to be a tablet.
But I'm old enough to remember a time without 3 of those.

I'd say TV. I only put a TV in my living room and regularly started using it like two weeks ago, so I'd be fine with going back to using my computer to watch things.

At first I thought the tablet was an e-reader, which I couldn't give up, so I wasn't which to choose. But since it's a tablet, it can go.

Tablet. I actually want one because I think it would be convenient and helpful. But I wouldn’t give up my laptop (which is touch screen also) or my phone. A tablet just functions between the 2 of those. And you have to buy a keyboard separately.

That is difficult. I use the computer in the morning, but use my laptop when I'm out in the WeShed.
I use my tablet all the time; you will pry my tablet out of my cold, dead hands.
I don't hang on the phone that often, but do use it.

I guess I could ditch the television. I could always watch tv on the laptop, if necessary. Most of the time when it's on, it's strictly for background anyway.

Phone. I hate cell phones with a passion. I hate seeing people out together and never even speaking to each other because they're on their phone the whole time. I hate seeing my co workers use their phones when they're supposed to be watching and interacting with the kids. I like my tablet, I use it to read books.
