Sort of. I have a desktop that I use for games, and a handheld PC (the Lenovo Legion Go) for… games, and a phone that I use for lurking on the fediverse.

Yes, I have both. The desktop is pretty beefy and runs Windows (for now) and is mostly used for games and Adobe stuff. The laptop is a Thinkpad running Linux Mint, and is my couch computer. I use it for normal web browsing type stuff, and for managing my home lab server that sits in a closet in my basement. I also play some lightweight games on it via Steam/proton.

Desktop, laptop, phone.

Desktop for heavy workloads and work when at home

Laptop for work when at work

Phone is useless for any sort of meaningful work and is used for Slack and/or browsing memes.

It's not necessarily even that phones are too weak for work, it's that it's god-awful to try to get any work done on a phone when the only input method you have is touchscreen.

Shit, I have all of the above, in multiples.

I have kind of abandoned keeping a gaming PC up to date because I get sick of the bullshit. But the one I have currently isn't too far behind, hardware wise.

But I use it for piracy, image management (including editing), video editing, etc. The stuff that punks out other devices.

I have a dedicated media PC that is hooked up to the TV and stereo, but is isolated from anything else. That's what I still run Windows 7 on because musicbee on Linux isn't ready for prime time.

Then there's my wife's old computer that's hooked up to my kid's tvt, not that it ever gets used. But it's functional, so until it dies, that's what it does.

My laptop is exclusively for my writing. Dual boot with win 10/mint Linux. The win10 exists only for a specific piece of software that makes publishing to amazon easier. No games, but I do some media playback with it when I have to travel.

Phones suck at media management, word processing, and pretty much everything else tbh. Too many lobbyists limitations, too much crap for proper multitasking, no good apps for long form writing. But I do use them as music players at home via headphones.

Tablets are for portable video consumption, crappy mobile games, and reading. Some short form writing is possible on a decent tablet.

I don't see phones taking over much of what I use a laptop for, ever. And the screen size of even the biggest phones would suck for media management, even if it was realistic to store large amounts on one.

Desktop has been offloaded onto gaming laptop.

my laptop is my personal desktop ;)

Win 10 desktop for recording with Reason. Laptop running Linux Mint for everything else.

Just laptop. I don't have a space for desktop, unfortunately.

So many computers...

The number of discrete computers are EXPLODING in people's lives, they just don't see them as computers anymore. The screen becomes the "computer" as far as most people are concerned.

Got a gaming laptop that functions for everything. Not as powerful as a dedicated tower, but being somewhat portable is worth it for me.

Work laptop is set up as desktop and stays there most of the time. iPad is used for daily out of office tasks. At home, Surface (Windows tablet with keyboard) is used when i need to type something away from the office.

Gaming PC is in the living room for gaming and media center.

Laptop in my office up stairs for programming and I use Steam Remote Play for games that require keybmouse. Its nice because I can just unplug it from my dock and head downstairs with it if I want to browse on the couch.

I have a tablet too, but that's used solely for movies, YouTube, or when I'm DMing because the footprint is smaller.

Use my laptop for everything, need it a lot at uni and it's beefy enough for desk tasks. Don't game anyways so I never hit a heavy load.

Laptop only. But I almost exclusivly use the laptop in a desktop setup with external screens and peripheral. And for now it's even good enough for gaming, so there really is no need for a proper desktop.
