What do you use your home PC and gadgets for and for how long? Of course, taking into account the change of equipment to newer ones. Has anything changed over time? For example, have you started using a computer instead of a TV, or tablets and phones instead of a desktop computer? Are you a person for whom a computer is a huge multimedia entertainment system, or do you belong to the type of person for whom a computer is primarily a means of work or communication? For example, I never thought that for several years I would not be repairing the TV in my room, simply using official Internet television services to watch this or that TV channel (I have always dreamed of buying a smart TV, but now I simply have neither the desire nor the extra money).

Given I hardly use my phone for anything, I use this Dell Latitude 7480 for just about everything. Anime watching, torrenting, YouTube, machine learning stuff (Slow as sin without a proper GPU, but good enough for Whisper, which means decent subtitles for non-English YouTube content :D), and of course MAL. I don't even own a TV, since I haven't used a game console in a good while now. Gotta pinch those pennies!

Also I said it before and will say it again, if you're short on cash and need a "good" laptop stat, these 7480's go for around $200 USD on Amazon (And other retailers) all the time. They're great as a stopgap machine that doesn't suck. I guess too many people see that it's Skylake, and think "Ew, that's like a thousand-year-old architecture." and get rid of them. But if people can still get on with literal first generation Arrandale and Clarkdale i7 (🤮Pre-Sandy Bridge🤮) powered Thinkpads, then this is is at least still viable for most people.

I use my laptop hardly ever as it's ancient and slow.
I mainly just move videos and pics from my other devices to store them on flash drives.
Also to resize/edit pics which I use on MAL.

To consume multimedia and use the internet on a sufficiently large screen with a keyboard and mouse.
No, this isn't my signature.

Pretty much any task that requires an internet connection to accomplish. I still like watching movies/TV shows on my TV though, way more comfortable sitting on a couch than an office deck chair. I don't have a laptop or tablet, never felt the need for one tbh, mainly use my phone for its original purpose, actually calling people lmao.

I use a laptop and have an external monitor. I use my phone for the usual (calls/texts, listening to music, direction). As for my computer, I use it daily, often, and for all manner of things, especially browsing the web and watching videos.

My PC is on 24/7 (electronic devices suffer the most during startup, so if you want them to work flawlessly forever you simply never shut them down).
- work
- hentai
- anime
- games on emulators
- owning libtards
- did I already mention jerking off?

@nSanime You are the first person I have met who also frequently turns on the computer due to the variety of its uses.
