What do you use seven forums on? part 2

(as in what device)
For example, I mainly use my HTC Touch Pro2. It's a lemon of a phone, but the built-in version of Opera manages this perfectly. Sometimes I use my tower, but that's normally just for profile stuff suchas avatars and uploading images.

So what do you use? Laptop? netbook? tower? phone? iDevice?

You want to say How are we accessing to the forum?
How are you accessing to the forum?

biggles1000

nearly. i did a quick search and couldn't find anything, but wasn't sure how to phrase it. i'm trying to ask what device, as in, you use a bookmark, but i'm trying to discern "bookmark on what?" on your desktop pc?
afraid i'm always rather vague in writing and always end up writing far too much to try and make my point clear :/

Let's let admins/moderators decide this.

You could also add a poll to your question - Creating and Participating in Polls

For example: Ask your question "What device do you use seven forums on?" with Laptop, netbook, tower, phone, iFad, slate being the choices.

I visit this forum with my tower mostly, but I do check in with my netbook once in a while as well....and I have visited with my iPod Touch once or twice. I have the site bookmarked with both computers.

Thanks for the idea. Unfortunately the poll option doesn't seem to be in the edit mode for the first post :/

(I found the 'iFad' joke funny :P. Never heard that one before actually )

Interesting. Exactly the sort of answer I was hoping for

Yea I guess you need to do when you first create your thread then the option will be at the bottom of the page.

To answer your original question I only own Desktops but have twice the likelihood of requiring the assistance of this forum due to the fact the user (Me) can tinker with both the Hardware and Software.

/me faints :P
that is a tonne...
just wondering, does the Vaio have better or worse specs than the MacBook Pro?

DeanP

They both roughly have good specs (Core i7, ATI Graphics).

Bear in mind, I'm on a discrete model (2006) runs on really slow Core 2 Duo CPU. It originally shipped with OS X Tiger.

Yeah, the discrete line was a small step back, but I suppose it did carve the way for greatness...
At least it has a dual core processor! (my PC has the worlds worst Intel processor)
i7 in a laptop must be a lot of fun, but is it a battery killer?

The Xperia X8 seems to be a pretty nice phone.
Your PC seems to have specs similar to mine (well, you have a better processor and your GPU beats my current one, but would be similar if I could fit a better PSU into my case to power my better one :P ) so I'm guessing it's not a bad experience on your PC.

Doesn't sound like too bad a laptop (I've always had issues with Acer build quality). iOS isn't too bad a platform for this forum, but the spelling correction often gets in the way.

That tower's specs sound pretty awesome. I'm guessing you don't use the iPad often because it's awkward to type on?

Looks like a pretty good phone to use the forum on.
Interesting that a lot, if not all of us, use many many devices rather than just one.

2 iPads? I'm jealous. I love the 4th-gen 32GB Touch that I have, and I was tempted to get an iPad instead of the netbook, but for the price, my netbook was a better value. Maybe next year when my tax refund comes I can get one.....

Yeah, iPads are awesome but just too expensive to justify buying one :/

Joan Archer

Expensive?? Its a bomb in India.

Yeah, I suppose that's a good reason for not needing a mobile device :P

How much? I'm interested.

DeanP

Unfortunately, I'm selling this on NZ Auction Site (Trademe) and only available to AUS & NZ users.

The current highest bid so far in my auction - NZD $1049

Any chance of selling them to India..I like to have either a iP4 or iP2

It'll be expensive to ship overseas!

I found the add poll thing under the thread tools tab! If you are still subscribed to this thread and care, please vote in the poll (it's multiple choice)

I mostly use it on my tower here in the office and at home.

I never really tried it on my smartphones yet

Same here, but i am not going to do so, because it's very difficult in use (small screen).

Karln

Yo. I use my tower principally and my laptop sometime.

yowanvista

On PCs, Laptop and on N97mini

I've never been here on anything other than my laptop.

I usually access the forum from my laptop but, like I am right now, I also use my iPod Touch. The app is totally worth it ($2.99 in the app store).

Well, I guess just out of sheer curiosity.

I personally would like to know to see how many people on average are using their computers less and using their tablets/handhelds more.

yeah, as oreo27 said, just out of curiosity
and, funnily enough, for exactly the same reasoning as well

after all, there's the 'what age bracket do you fit into' thread, which I would have thought was rather more intrusive, but probably more 'important' information
