Do you own a computer?

26 Comments

Sorry if some of the poll options are chopped off, this site doesn't allow long descriptions.
I think you should be able to understand them for voting purposes.

This poll is for what you use/own at home, NOT at work.

Hi. I'm a software developer / website developer and I'm wondering how many people actually still own and use a desktop/laptop computer?

This helps me determine which platforms (computer, tablet, phone, etc.) I should write software for.

For example should I focus most of my time writing native applications for the desktop/laptop market or the mobile (phones/tablets) market?

Do you prefer certain apps on your computer because of it's large screen or do you do everything on your tablet / phone now?

Please give more information if you'd like to be more helpful, thanks.

This poll's main interest is to determine how strong the desktop/laptop computer market still is.

Thanks for voting and please be honest!

:)

I prefer my computer but I do own another device :tablet, phone, etc. 33
I own a computer and would use it if I had to but prefer another devic 7
I don't own a computer. And I use another device : tablet, phone, etc. 5
I use both my computer and another device :tablet, phone, etc. 13
Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

    I only use my computer, because I don't own any other devices.

    I own a laptop. I don't like the tablets etc.. that the young people seem to be addicted with. I think that people who use tablets and phones are mostly those who play a lot and are 24/7 connected on social networks. Students and professionals would use a common computer.

    I use my phone for casual browsing or when I'm in bed or outdoors but my laptop for everything else.

    I do have a laptop, but I mostly use my phone. It's easier to grab and take with me.

      Don't you find the tiny screen obnoxious and harder to use than your laptop?

      What kinds of things do you mostly do on your phone rather than your computer?

      Maybe I missed that one?
      Funny because I'm one of them.

      :)

      Too bad this site doesn't let me edit the polls after they're up and running.

      I actually may not care if you don't have a tablet or smart phone.

      My main interest is knowing if you've got a computer and use it even if you've other devices to use. It's mostly about preference I guess.

      That makes easier for me to know to continue writing applications for the desktop/laptop markets and not worry so much about mobile right now.

      So far most people have and use their computers or would if they had to :)

      Thanks.

    I only use mac. Apple everything, tasty.

    Just kidding, I have a pc, phone, tablet, and laptop. I am never not connected and have a device for everywhere. I need another. Something to use during sex as the others just don't have the right feel. Just kidding. I don't have sex.

    But I do hate market research. That is the truth.

    I would hate to not use a laptop or a computer anymore. I've never owned a tablet and I don't want to (they're always struck me as being quite cumbersome. Maybe that's unfair, but the whole idea really does nothing for me. Not that I don't think I could start enjoying one if I did get one.), and I would never use my phone for work because the screen is far too small.

    I like a physical keyboard with keys that click when you press them down, not a picture of a keyboard that takes up valuable space on my screen.

    I go back and forth between my tablet and my phone. I don't own a computer. But I want to buy a small notebook, and ditch my smart phone and get an old flip phone again. Like the good ol' days..

          "Haha! Exactly! I miss my old flip phone."

          I know flip phones were bad ass.

          These so called smart phones are a real pain when they call people by themselves and do shit because there's no cover/case built in.

          I still have mine; it's an antique now, and I'm a collector of antiques! Haha.

    you're a developer...and you are using this site to poll for your research? for which platform to develop for? i don't get it.

    wouldn't the purpose, or the intended audience, dictate more which platform would be appropriate? i highly doubt this site and its users represent a source of valuable information on the subject...

    but if so, I'm curious what types of stuff you develop.
