    I own a desktop and a laptop and they're all Apple computers. They run super fast and they rarely get viruses than PC computers. I think that Apple has great costumer service and I think that Macs are expensive, but it is worth it in the end.

    I've got a fully functional desktop, and a broken android tablet that I ordered off eBay. It didnt' arrive broken. the touch screeen stopped working two weeks after I got it, and it's pretty much a slick mouse pad right now.

    Best mouse pad I've ever had. Best 70 bucks I ever spent. lol That's what I get for buying cheap Chinese products all the time.

    Well, I've finally decided to spend the most I've ever spent on a computer, nearly $1,200 on a new computer desktop.

    I have a custom built PC from some years ago, but mostly use my Dell laptop. And my iPhone, once could consider that a mini computer too ;)
    Never tried a tablet, I think that's the next thing I want to experience.

    How long have you had your mac? My HP laptop has been going strong for 6 years now. My brother decided to try one. I think he likes it but the last time I asked him I don't think he was as happy as he was when he bought it which was less then a year ago. It doesn't mean he doesn't like it. I think the hype it gets sets unrealistic expectations. As long as the one who purchased the computer is happy in the end, thats all that matters. For me I can't justify the price. And they just are not for me.

    I own two desktops, one laptop and one tablet. One desktop I custom built myself mainly for gaming. The other one is an older PC I use solely to run older apps. I prefer the desktop when I'm at home for all my computing needs to be honest.

    I take the laptop with me to work. It's not really all that powerful so I can't really game on it (it might run Runescape though :p). I use it mostly for work related things like editing spreadsheets and creating presentations.

    The tablet I use when I'm travelling. To be honest I'd replace my laptop with the tablet if I could. I just love the fully touch interface.

    I own actually two laptops and willing to buy a tablet and an ultrabook sometime soon.

    I may also consider to get a desktop for gaming because I consider these machines are way too much better for this task than laptops are.

    I have a Asus laptop that I got for Christmas for moderate gaming. This has been my favorite and most reliable computer by far. I had always heard that Asus was a quality brand, and it truly is!

    I own Desktop for gaming and power while my laptop is for small chores and portability and on the go things. Tablets seem like a waste to me...

    I have a new laptop since I virtually wore my previous one out after about seven years. My previous computer was a laptop too. I am a semi-retired Videographer and the lap top is perfect for in the field on the spot editing.

    If you want a desktop that looks cool maybe you should check out Alienware's CPU's. They are more than just cool. lol.. Quite expensive though..

    We have a Mac Pro and 2 iMac desktops. I will never own anything but an Apple computer. These are all great computers and have virtually no problems. On my old PC, I used to get viruses all the time. I never got the thing to work properly for more than a couple of weeks at a time. Always a frustration.
