Both. I mainly use my Desktop but the laptop is nice for remote work or if I want a change of scenery

I like having a gaming laptop as it’s easier to grab and go to game at friends’ places. Sometimes I do like to bring my desktop and set up for a good old fashioned LAN party, but other times I want something quick. I also like having a laptop for working on projects on the go, connecting to devices for projects without having to relocate my desktop, etc. Traditional smartphones are too limited for most work and are only good for web browsing and communication tasks. Linux phones are too experimental to rely on but are getting better and better. I have done quite a bit of coding on my Linux phones but their use there is still somewhat limited. I also have a Steam Deck and it is better for gaming on the couch, on the go, or in bed, but it’s not really suitable for keyboard and mouse FPS gaming and it’s not convenient to do work (such as programming) on without external peripherals.

I have a lot of devices, but I rarely use most of them.

1. My desktop is my main device for all my work from home. Work desktop for work at the office.
2. My work laptop only gets used for client visits.
3. My personal laptop only gets used when I need a second mobile device for work and Zooming with my family (to bring to where my kiddos are set up playing).
4. My wife’s work laptop is her main work machine and her personal laptop is our evening TV.
5. My Android phone is my ADHD dopamine machine most of the time. Some light work use.
6. My gaming is almost exclusively on my Steam Deck (but I’m working on getting a WiFi mesh network so I can stream from my desktop to my Deck). Used nightly in bed.
7. My 8 y.o. daughter’s tablet is an audiobook machine, some edutainment apps, and sleep sounds machine. Occasionally a screen for shows/art video tutorials.
8. My 6 y.o son’s tablet is mostly podcasts and sleep sounds.
9. My DSi is my wife’s Tetris machine.

TL;DR: I mostly use my desktop for work and Deck/phone for entertainment. My laptops see use a few times/month when I’m on the road for work or Zooming with family and basically never in between. But we have a lot of devices that have specific use cases for different members of my family.

Desktop for work gaming, Laptop to watch movies in bed or work game while traveling long timeframes. Phone always somewhere close by, but only for reading, music staying in touch etc.

Laptop and docking station, connected to the Gaming PC via Ethernet and steamLink.

I use all the things and in many cases multiple of them, but working IT and self hosting a bunch tends to lend itself to that

Sort of. I have a desktop that I use for games, and a handheld PC (the Lenovo Legion Go) for… games, and a phone that I use for lurking on the fediverse.

I have both. I avoid using my phone for anything as much as possible. Even just general internet browsing is an absolutely chore on the phone, I’ve never understood the popularity.

I have a desktop for gaming and office work. My Laptop for watching stuff while laying in bed and for school work. My phone primarily is for chatting with friends, browsing Lemmy, calling and playing some games.

I have the following at home:

• My work laptop (2021 MacBook Pro)

• My personal laptop (2018 MacBook Pro)

• An old iPad Air

• My phone

• Living room PC (Linux, shared)

• Bedroom PC (Linux, shared)

My laptops live on my desk and I mostly have whichever one I’m using plugged into my external monitor and peripherals (mouse and mechanical keyboard). The portability of my personal and work machines is nice if I want to sit on the couch or travel.

The living room PC is hooked up to the TV. My partner and I mostly use it for gaming and YouTube. It’s a few years old but it can handle most of what we throw at it.

We only use the bedroom PC to watch TV in bed.

The iPad is for knitting patterns. Previously, it spent several years sitting unused in a drawer.

My phone is for doomscrolling and spam calls.

I have a beefcake laptop, that could fold into a tablet. But I still usually use it as a desktop computer: connected to all the periferials, speakers and a monitor, folded up to be a secondary monitor on the side.
While I had some cooling issues with it (had to cough up couple hundreds for repairs) I am still happy with the setup.
The phone is for during the day, some mobile only games and for reading books - tho I do like to listen to TTS when my eyes are busy.

Desktop has been offloaded onto gaming laptop.

Laptop. I daresay I’m done with desktops…forever? Likely. As technology moves forward a laptop should have plenty of power and storage to do anything. Of course, software companies will write software that chews up resources to convince you you’re getting your money’s worth.

I can’t work on a phone, too small and constricted with inputs. Not even a consideration, now or moving forward. Fine for social media, but bills, games, and art/design? Nah.

So yeah, I’d say laptops forever, but I’m sure the big tech companies won’t let me.

Unless you really need some big GPU thingie… Laptops are too good nowadays.

No, laptop functions have not been offloaded to phones. Phones have simply taken time from real life interactions 😅

Ever since I settled into the “laptop with mechanical keyboard plugged in, screen turned backwards, directly in front of my unused dual screen computer” configuration my desk has looked like the glasses of a fucking skekse. Why do I do this? Send help.
