What’s your favorite way to use a computer?

What do I mean? Well, I have a phone, and my phone is my only access to the internet. I’m so used to it that on the rare occasion I use my dad’s desktop at his house, it’s as if I’ve never used a keyboard I make so many mistakes.
So my phone is my absolute favorite way to use a computer. My least favorite was when I had a laptop. I really didn’t like that. Which is weird because I hear so many people wax poetic over their laptops.

@AmbiePam - My eyes were good, but not very much now that I am 75. One eye is nearsighted and the other the opposite. I wear eyeglasses, they help, but it's still hard to use a phone to read. I had such a hard time this morning doing some online payments using my phone.

We are opposite on this one I'm afraid.
I find my phone alright to respond to comments or discussions, but impossible to post-not sure why.
I like my laptop.
My current laptop is aging quickly, and the keyboard doesn't work properly, so I use a wireless keyboard and a wireless mouse. It is a bit cumbersome, but it gets the job done until I can get another laptop.

I used my phone only to communicate with friends and social media. Not the way I would use a laptop or a computer.
Most especially when mylotting. I find my phone not so convenient at all. So it's either my laptop or my iPad for mylotting.

I use my phone to read ebooks and send texts or call someone but I much prefer the large screen on my laptop and the keyboard, especially if I'm playing on myLot. I don't take my phone online if I can help it. (Pretty will if I hand her my phone and ask her to find something, though.)
Were you aware you can send a text message to a laptop or vice versa? Just type in the email address you're sending the message to into the To: line on your texting app and type their phone number into the To: line on an email.

@DaddyEvil This is absurd. Your surgery cannot come soon enough.

I'm lucky right now I can remember things like that. Pretty told me last night that I'm slurring my words again after I fell.
I'm really hoping I get the surgery soon.

I like the laptop for many things. The size is right. I just think the phone screen is too small to do too many things on. I like mylotting on a laptop.

Most of the time I use my iPad. It’s small yet not too small and very portable. I have a keyboard case with it (the “Magic Keyboard”), so it’s a lightweight all-in-one thing.

I do 90% of everything on my laptop (relaxed in my recliner). The other stuff I do on my phone but hate using it for myLotting, online ordering, etc. So my phone is basically for texts, calls, pictures, etc. I gave up my desktop computer years ago and I guess I'm in the group who love laptops.

I used to do all of this on a phone. Now I have a Chromebook. I just prefer to be able to sit and look at a full screen and actually type.

I like my laptop, but most of the time I prefer my phone. I think the tablet is my least favorite. Especially to mylot.

I had a laptop which was very old and stopped working. Now there's a desktop that is old too but works well. I do use it sometimes. I too use my smartphone to Mylot and write emails.
