If so, do you have both switched on at the same time. What do you use each one for? |
|
Yes I do. I have two desktops and a laptop next to me. One is my server which handles my directory services, iCal server, Apache, AFP, time machine network backups, etc. I'm use it for IRC as well. Then I have my laptop which I use for mail, RSS, Twitter, Pandora, word processing, movies, tv, IM, etc. This leaves my main desktop free for a single purpose. When I'm developing software, I only have development tools like Xcode running... when I'm working on a video based project, I only have Final Cut Pro, Motion, Pixelmator, Maya, etc open. I love working in a clean environment without all the little widget apps cluttered over the screen... A nice clean workspace. |

I'm visiting my family right now so we have four adults using three iPads and one laptop. Addendum: At my home, I have a desktop (iMac 27" i7), laptop (15" MacBook Pro from early 2009), iPad (64GB wifi) and bigscreen HDTV as my second computer monitor. The desktop & second monitor are for work (and entertainment, namely the HDTV) and the laptop is for work-on-the-go. |

I have only a laptop which I use for all my PC tasks. I do not do any high-powered games or video processing which would normally require the use of a powerful desktop. |

MMM, that this second i am looking at this webpage making this answer to your question. My desktop does most of the hard work or things that need a lot of micro (playing games, posting on forums and dowing coruse work). My laptop is mainly used to watch TV/webshows, since it cant do much more. But then again i got it free and repaired it back to working, needed a new harddrive and a password reset (by removing the bios). Best £50 (about $100 USD at the time) i ever spent. Cheaper that getting a card able to duel screen and gives more felability. I lost count the number of times i taken my laptop over to some ones house to fix there computer. It so easy to test if its a computer setting or the hardware when you have a known good setting. |

Yes, I have both a desktop and a laptop with me right now (and an iPad). I use the desktop for the more heavy computing, and as a cool screensaver. Everything else I do on my laptop (except occasional web browsing on the desktop). I use the iPad mainly to watch videos and use the apps when I have it in my home office. |

Don't get me wrong, I just recently started helping to contribute on this site and I love the power of the community but are these questions appropriate? This seems like it should be a poll on your private blog site. Its not a question in which you need help with anything but maybe i'm being too picky?
