Does anyone still use a computer?

Question

Both of mine have stopped working. I'm debating buying a new one. Is it worth it?

I use them 5 days a week at work and 7 days a week at home. Even though I own a Iphone Pro Max and an Ipad pro with keyboard, I find that I can do a lot more and much faster on my mac than any other device. Opening tabs and shifting between them, using worksheets or seeking information is so much better on a laptop than any other product.

As for your question, it depends on your needs and wants and whether your within the android or apple ecosystem. The reason I moved over the mac back in 2008 was the total headache of working with antivirus programs on a PC. Since the switch and owning several apple products; I can't see myself opting for a PC.

Before 2008, I went through a handfull of PCs, all with various of issues. My first mac I had for 10 years (and changed the battery once), before moving over to the Ipad pro for 2 years, and then bought the Mac Pro which I've had for three years now. This bad boy will last for at least another 7-10 years and I love it!

That depends on your use and volume etc. Computers are far more comfortable and efficient to work on. Laptops etc are for max 30 mins work in my opinion. And yes I have a desktop.

It depends on what you use it for. Computers are less and less common for personal use. I don’t even have a computer at all in my house. The few things I do at home I can generally do on an iPad on iPhone.

However, I have many computers at work. Computers are almost essential in a business environment. I’ve got computers running equipment, computers running software, computers used simply for running email and customer communication, office computers for administration, computers running security systems, and a computer server to manage them all.

The odd time I need to use a computer for personal use, or if I have more work than normal to finish, I just stay at work a little later than normal, or take a laptop from work home for a day or two.

If you seldom use a computer at home, it may not be worth a purchase. Alternatively, you can often find a good used computer for a decent price. Any basic computer can handle email, internet browsing, and word processing.

I use mine a lot, like in here. I dumped Apple for a PC as they are cheaper to replace when they give up the ghost. I've had 2 Apples and both became outdated within 5 years. And they were like $2,000 to buy, vs. $600 for a PC. They turned out to not be a good investment. I still have both out in my garage. I might get one out and see how it does in today's world.

Not quite, yet I'd like to have a Tower Computer however there's just no proper set up, times gotten on and also just, everything seems now an app suited that almost makes computers as in personal computers obsolete, besides work computers or hospital computers or factory computers, it's all just smartphones or tabs now and not the drink lol that's a former drink tab

Oh yes i think desktops keep getting more popular. Everyone these days want those gaming desktops with tempered glass and Christmas lighting lol. I built one myself and i must say the Christmas lighting does brighten up my mood lol.

I have a scanner / printer copier. There are things that are much easier done on at least a notebook. I wouldn't want to make a resume or a formal letter off of anything else. Also it's much easier to get around and in some cases more possibilities off certain sites without a cell phone. It just depends on convenience and needs.

More use a computer than mobile or tv.  But why the hell have both of yours stopped working?

V_Injector · Answer

I am a computer junkie. My wife and both my kids are on their stupid phones like I am on the computer. I only use the phone for messages and calls. I don't game on my computer, I have a PS5 for that. I enjoy a nice troll, porn on tap, and sending cock pictures to girls online.

If you're like me... buy a new computer brauh.

art84 · Answer

I use mine which I got about 4 years ago after my old computer of 7 years stopped working. I actually use my desktop for printing paperwork and scanning papers and such. I have a laptop as well but rarely use just for updates and stuff.

You say that as if they are being phased out by some other kind of technology (they aren't). Nothing compares to a desktop computer for gaming or work, I have many of them.
