With cells and tablets, how often do you use your PC now?

in order of most used to least - S3 phone that I use as a lifeline, hp envy in living room as media centre sometimes photo processing machine, asus pc for work/hobby/photo edits whatever at my desk, macbook air for when i travel/bedroom when I'm home, samsung tablet I kind of use when I'm in bed mostly for web browsing
needless to say I really like computers, as great as having a phone that can do so much is.. a real computer is far from obsolete for most of what I need to do beyond shop online and stare mindlessly at instagram

I count 3 computers, 1 smartphone and 1 tablet... That seems a little overwhelming and difficult to keep track of, is all your data in the cloud or on a server somewhere so you can access it all?
I use my iPhone when I'm out, and my Macbook when I'm at home. I see no need for an iPad at this time...
I have to say though. I love my iPad most for watching movies on the couch. Much better than the TV. You put on some good headphones and with the tablet in hand... it's very immersive. Feels like you are at the movie theatre! (without all the other annoying people around).
OK but how is that experience different from doing the same thing with a 13" Macbook?
OK, thanks for the info. I've always been amazed by the possibilities, I just haven't been able to justify the expenditure! :nod:
I agree. When the iPad came out at first, I thought it was the stupidest thing ever. Then I bought one.... I am on my third iPad now. It's amazing. When you pair it up with the Logitech Bluetooth keyboard... it's a kickass little laptop.
Big hearts to my iPhone and iPad! My MacBook is in a corner... I only use it for webcam sessions now, and keeping my photo and music albums organized
All the time.
Many of the larger web sites recognize when you are using a mobile device and send you to a watered down version that typically is much harder to navigate and contains much less information, and is much less flexible to use. And they will NOT let you leave that version of the site. Annoys the hell out of me. Apps published by various vendors are especially bad in this respect. I want access to everything that is on the full website, not a water down version, or an app.
IMO mobile devices are best used as readers/viewers. So, reading news, messages and things of that nature. Pretty much everything else a PC blows mobile out of the water.

I'm thinking about getting an Ipad - but I have a Windows computer.
I usually download the movies from the internet in .avi to my computer and then convert them and transfer them over to my Samsung android phone to view.
Would I still be able to transfer my movies over to the Ipad to watch?
I'm assuming because it's 2 different systems - no?
You can stream from iTunes to any iOS device, I believe it is only for mp4 files though. Theresa also airplay mirroring and if you are watching them offline you can just copy it over to your iPad.
