I use my PC for watching movies in the evening when Emmerdale and Corrie are on TV as I have a large screen.
I would say that I use my iPad for 90% of the time and definitely is better than a laptop for me.

The Mac is wonderful to use once you get used to the difference from Microsoft to Apple but they are very expensive to buy compared with your standard PC .
Tablets irritate me - I want a "real" keyboard, not a touchscreen with gestures.
And something with USB ports that I can connect devices to (external HardDrive for backup, Printer).
i don't need the unnecessary frustrations of using Wireless printers - wht complicate things?
However, when it comes to portability .... and general web use and email and minor document work..a tablet is winner hands down... (good tablet not cheapies)
I've been a computer user since 1968 - yes, genuinely - and I was paid to look after them for 37 years from 1970 onwards. Consequently technology doesn't scare me !
I work on my desktop most of the time as I do enjoy the benefit of having a big screen, 24". Once you are used to that desktop real estate using a smaller screen just feels so cramped.
brought them to the market,
And to be honest I find my iPad quite indispensable
I use it all the time
I have friends in the states & South Africa
Who I am usually in contact with most days
These are great days for new technology
