slo’s WEDNESDAY 11/30 poll - Tablets (Electronic)

[slo]

It’s the last day of November - where has the time gone??

Do you use an electronic tablet?
If yes…how many are in your home or possession right now?
(multiple choice)



For Me….I use my Apple IPad for absolutely everything. I never use any type of computer at home.
Currently there are 5 in the house.
I have 3 - one so old it doesn’t work. The second is old, but good enough to watch shows while on the elliptical and the third is a year old and is what I use every day for everything.
DH has a older Apple IPad (DD19’s old one)
DD19 has a new Apple IPad

*Inspiration for today’s poll is me having 2 IPads going at once today. DH bought a new kitchen TV on Black Friday, but after he installed it we noticed it was defective. So we returned it yesterday and ordered a replacement, which won’t come until Monday. So, that leaves me with no TV to watch the local morning news. Luckily I have 2 tablets so one can have the news and the other I can use to catch up on all my social media accounts.

I use my dinosaur desktop; no tablets here except for my BP med.

We have an iPad here, an iPad mini too. There are also a "couple-tree" Kindle Fires in stuffed in drawers here too. I mostly use the iPad mini for sitting on the patio. For my own purposes inside the house, I just use my laptop.

Both DH and I have and use Ipads (in addition to laptop computers.) There might be an old tablet in a drawer somewhere.

I have one buys it’s so old it no longer works or updates I’d like to get a new one as I miss using it so much I loved my little iPad mini

I have an ipad that I mostly only use when I'm just sitting around in front of the tv or sometimes I take it to work so I won't be using the work computer for fun stuff, lol. I rarely use it for anything other than social media or games tho. I know it has a lot more potential than what I use it for. For business/financial stuff I use my desktop in my bedroom.

Kindle family here. I have 4......2 are in active use. The other 2 are dinosaurs and in a drawer. I got my first one before a long cruise and flight. Books.....lots of books!!
Games too. Movies and some music.
DH has one.
And there is another here for the grandkids

 

[MamaMermaid]

Our son has a tablet he uses for games and movies.

 

[CdnCarrie]

Just my iPhone and a laptop. No tablet.

 

[mumto3girls]

I have an iPad mini. It’s old. I basically just use it for reading. I mostly use my phone although I have a laptop at home and a desktop at work.

DH has an iPad. I don’t think he uses it at all. He has his laptop (and his phone) with him at all times.

DD16 has a kindle I think. She mostly uses her school issued chrome book and her phone.

I think DD22 has an iPad and a kindle. I think she just uses her MacBook and phone though.

DD19 probably has a kindle but just uses her MacBook and phone.

I have a Kindle. My wife and older son have iPads. My son takes his iPad to class since he primarily uses a desktop for his schoolwork in college. He has an older laptop, but he prefers his iPad for note taking and his books.

 

[kanerf]

I have two iPads and several Fire tablets.

 

[EACarlson]

Tablets, there are two in my house. My wife has one and my younger son has one. If you are including Kindles there are two more. I and my older son have Kindle Paperwhites. For the most part we are a Chromebook family, we have 6 Chromebooks in the house for a family of four.

 

[mrodgers]

I have about a 7 year old tablet. I never use it. It's old and slow.

I prefer using the laptop, which is older than the tablet. I also have a gaming PC connected to the TV which is just used for gaming and sometimes Youtube but mainly watch YT on the TV's interface.

 

[Praying Colonel]

I have a Chromebook which I can use as a tablet, but I don't use it that way.

DW's main tech appliance is an iPad. She also has a laptop but rarely uses it.

DH has the larger iPad Pro and I have the smaller one. He takes his to work on night shift and I use mine pretty much in place of a laptop and everything else 80% of the time.

Both younger kids have 2017 (?) iPads. DD uses hers constantly for drawing and asked for an upgrade for her birthday. Today she’ll get the 2021 version that I got for a screaming deal when the 2022s dropped. DS rarely uses his anymore preferring his phone.

I wouldn’t not have an iPad anymore. I think about the tote bag I used to haul around filled with books and magazines for when we traveled or had to sit in a waiting room. Now I just grab my iPad. I do have two Kindles, an Oasis and a Voyager but I only use those for reading at night.

 

[Dan Murphy]

Marie has a Samsung tablet. She uses it mostly for a lot YouTube stuff. I have a desktop that I much prefer when I'm at home, a nice traditional keyboard and mouse. I also use a large screen Samsung phone. If I travel, I take my ASUS Chromebook flip with. Opened, a regular touch screen or keyboard laptop. Flip the screen 180º and it is a tablet.

 

[ronandannette]

IPad - I’m using it right now. It’s become my main source of reading (e-books) and it’s the only device I take when we travel.

 

[Skywalker3]

DS and DH use iPads . I use desktop computer and phone. DD uses phone and laptop. DS also uses his own desktop, lots of gaming, and phone . Was just talking bout my possibly getting an iPad . Phone just too hard for me to see/read stuff on

 

[Smugpugmug]

I don't have a tablet. I don't see the need to own one personally. For travelling, I take my phone and my Nintendo Switch. My laptop is too bulky to travel with as it's a gaming one.
