Your weapons of choice
 
I just came to the conclusion that I'm buying too much tech and that the market overflow with new devices.

If you sit back for a second and thinking about and you are you sing mobile devices, it will be clear to you that not easy to find the "best" setup.

Now, I'm not talking about specific brand or devices here, but more interested in the ultimate combination of number of device, types of devices and size of devices.

I'm what's the beast option.

A smartphone 4 inch plus a tablet 10 inch. You can take call with both.
You could easily get a 5,5 in device in pocket and it's more agile than two devices.

And then you have laptop or desktop collecting more and more dust.

I see where your coming from. But my desktop still gets plenty of use, in fact when I'm at home it's my main device.

and why am I feeling a Poll is just around the corner...?

i have three laptops in the house! most of my internet is done on the N9 and N900 during the day. my original N900 got spoilt a couple of weeks ago n realised how vital it was for me that i quickly had to get another one!

word processing and browsing on my laptop. one laptop in the living room for when im browsing n watching telly. the other in d bedroom but use it more as a desktop w my printer and others attached. the other laptop has the screen spoilt so i use it as a server..

i dont have a tablet! think its overkill as i can do everythin i need on my phones :)

oh i forgot sent from my N900

Just grab the Galaxy NOTE 2 and the Lenovo Yoga (Win8PRO).

You'll not only have the best* smartphone, but a capable tablet, and a large tablet for your couch/benchtop, and a sleek new laptop. Those two compliment each other nicely.

Think of the money you would save from buying a standalone tablet ($250-400) or an iPad ($500+).

Hmm. For me, I would say powerful desktop, optionally a laptop, and a reader-sized device. I have a quad-core AMD box, a work laptop, and my N900. This pretty much suits my computing needs...

My desktop is a linux box.
My laptop is an Alienware M17x which has sort of become my desktop replacement.
I'm currently using a BB Bold 9900 and Playbook as my mobile weapons of choice.
The Asus TF300TG now sees service as my coffee table/couch surfer.
The HTC One X has been shelved pending the JellyBean update.
The N9 is now doing duty as my nemo mobile toy
The SGS2 has been donated to my daughter
The Raspberry pi is doing service as my truly portable devel toy
The wife is threatening divorce if I buy any more handsets
My brain is doing overtime trying to figure out how to sneak both a BB10 London device and a Jolla handset into the house in the new year.....

A Windows pad is the way to go unfortunately. Important is office compatibility full version. That is priceless and an important argument that for most business users.

My desktop isn't collecting any dust, it has dust filters.
