Which one(s) do you own? For those who select more than one, which do you find yourself using the most?
I own all of the above, yet I find myself using my desktop the most, which is ironic because I love my smartphone and my tablet. The next big thing seems to be the new "phablet" market, and I'll probably get one of those too. lol

I have all of them but mainly use my desktop too. I only use my laptop or iPad when I'm traveling to the US.

+1. And I'd say my tablet is the single worst purchase I've ever made. The gap between the smartphone and the laptop really didn't need to be filled, much less by something so expensive.

I take it you're not going to get a "phablet" then? :)

Got 'em all, when I'm not at work I use my iPad 95% of the time, my laptop the other 5%. At work I use the desktop about 75% and the Smartphone the other 25%.

I use the Samsung Note 3 as my smartphone/tablet (phablet) and I don't think I can go back to phones under 5 inches.
I have a laptop that I haven't touched for ages.
I use my desktop when I'm not using my phablet.

Brand new Dell Venus 8 Pro. Uses Windows 8.1 and comes with full MS Office suite. I'm considering giving up my desktop, but support seems to be somewhat lacking.

I use the desktop in my home office, the laptop
every night in bed to watch Netflix, and the tablet
when I travel or visit other people's houses. All
were good purchases. I have no smartphone, waste
of money.

I am similar. Laptop at home for surfing internet and many other things. Tablet at home for kindle reading app. I take the tablet when I travel, leave the laptop at home. Tablet is great for watching movies on a plane, surfing internet, games and of course kindle app. No smartphone, waste of money.
I voted laptop but I use my tablet almost as much
Its just a forum. Nothing here to get obsessed about.

I would say the exact same thing, but I never actually bought a tablet. I have no need for one, and I'm convinced it would be a complete waste of cash.
My line up consists of a Samsung Galaxy S2, Toshiba notebook, MacBook Pro, and two iMacs (20" & 27")
And I'm a bigot too.

There's a gap between them? They're both
mobile devices that use app's, why would
you need both.

Nice, the S2 was my first smartphone. It was so sexy when it first came out. You should keep that phone for your grandchildren, it will definitely become a collectible 50 years from now. The only Galaxy S phone from Samsung that used S-AMOLED+ with regular RGB display rather than their pentile.

HP Spectre Laptop doesn't get a look in at home, only use it while traveling. Was never into smartphones, got my first two months ago as a freebie Samsung Galaxy 4, fell in love with it, then dropped it in swimming pool, totally knackered. Will get another one shortly as I've accumulated enough comp points for another shopping trip.

I have an old Toshiba laptop running Vista that I am on now. I do most of my surfing on it and it runs Simply Accounting (Sage) for my business. I used to travel with it but now just take my Samsung Note (Phablet) and it is just fine. I still have an old tower with Windows 95 on it that I keep for some of the older business related programs I still use.

I have a netbook running LinuX. It can function as bookreader, spreadsheet maker, wordprocessor, PRNG, etc. just like any other laptop but smaller. Activate Skype and its phone/IP. About 6x9x1.25... too thick for a tablet, more functional than a tablet, but not as powerful as a full netbook. Weight 1kg (2.2#). Vintage 2008/9. Undefined vote.
Some people need to reimagine their thinking.
