Did someone mention Diablo 3!
I do most of my PuristS surfing on my Alienware laptop that I use for work, even though I have a desktop and an iPad at home.
My Alienware M17x R3 works great on the D3 beta. Also the laptop also has a HDMI out which you can use to hook up to your TV. It would be awesome to have a PuristS group in D3, whenever it actually gets released.

After taking the poll, please feel free to elaborate in a response to this post. I'm very curious to read your answers. I currently read/write posts using my laptop. Occasionally, I read the site on my Android phone (HTC Evo 4G), but RARELY type respon...
Weekdays-laptop, weekends 30 % from Iphone 4s
Thinking of buying Ipad3. Cheers,dreamer
On the iPhone 4s...
...would you say that you mostly (only) read content, or do you also write/respond to posts on it? This new iPad constitutes my first foray into the Apple world since my 2nd generation iPod Nano purchase! Cheers, Daos
Mostly read but also respond to posts
I am confident you will enjoy your Ipad3 Daos. Cheers,dreamer This message has been edited by dreamer8 on 2012-03-08 23:55:04

From my Iphone 4S to her Ipad2. She uses a Blackberry. Cheers,dreamer
Good to know!
My cousin in Thailand swears by her iPad and uses it to talk with her parents here in the US. Daos
re: technology preference
I do the majority of PPro with a laptop. I tried the tablet route but it's just too limited for what I need to do. Even with the traveling I do, a tablet is just extra weight so I only take the laptop as it will do everything I need. If all you do is brow...

re: next
Yes, lots of toys out there but the way things are, it's easier to integrate the different electronics. Smart tv's, home theater receivers with built in airplay, Intel WiDi, etc makes things convenient. From what I saw at CES it seems that large touchscre...

The 17" Alienware looks very cool.
I am considering the MX14. I've not heard of any other PuristS who are into Diablo. I think there are some Madden and Call of Duty fans. For such a boy-centric site, there is not as much discussion about videogames as you would think -- not that I've noti...
Was laptop, now iPad
It has been iPad since the last 3 months when Santa bought me the toy! Ming is correct that it is a bit more limited but I think the website can also be a little more tablet friendly too. For eg., it should be easier to post pics taken on the iPad. J.
Thanks for the feedback.
Maybe if there is a large number of users who primarily use iPad for posting, the powers that be could look into whether or not there would be a way to post photos directly from the tablet (like hitting a "share" to PPro button). Cheers, Daos
Mix of devices
Writing this response using an iPad 1. No motivation to upgrade, so far. Sometimes on my Galaxy II (Much better than any iPhone, IMHO), at work on a desktop Win XP (sub zero motivation to upgrade). Photo posting on a MacBook Pro (my bigger machine with 8g...
:-) Nilo, you win!
You've got everything covered with all your devices! The Macbook Pro looks very sexy! Daos
We'll both be in HD
I have the iPad3 coming as well. Can't wait to see the Basel watches in high definition. My browsing and text responses are usually from iPad, as I grab web time when I am on the move, or bored at meetings! But I haven't been successful at using the image...
We'll see how I like the iPad.
I'm very curious about it. Maybe Bill can help us with the photo upload from iPad. Cheers, Daos
always use a laptop.
when i've stayed at Filip's i've used his ipad and it works very well to view this site. i've just jumped into the smartphone world and its on there ready to read, but doubt i'll post anything from it. i use a laptop as thats all i have. if i had a desk t...
Same here. Don't own a tablet but I would stick to something with...
...real keyboard regardless. Ruckdee
I was leaning toward...
...a new laptop for portability's sake, but if the iPad fills that need, I may choose a desktop for my home. Filip has all the tech-y toys, eh? Cheers, Daos
Laptop, etc...
At home and for working from home: Laptop; at the office: desktop PC, 2 flat-screen monitors; communication: cell phone, nothing fancy (I don't have a smartphone or iPhone); future additions (and it would be mainly for work applications): iPad or similar....
I think laptops...
...are very popular here, judging from the number of PuristS who use them in some aspect of their lives. It is great to have that portability. : -) Daos
well Daos, the reason i...
well Daos, the reason i like them is this. when i had a desktop i had an office which was essentially a room full of mess and because i get a bit addicted to things i was in there every 5 minutes to check emails etc so didnt spend much time with the famil...
Labtop.
I like the idea of a mobile working tool which also allow a comfortable reading. So, my Labtop is 17 inches big, not too big, not small. Pcs are showing nicely on such a screen, and honestly, I hate Iphones. I have several cell phones, one for the cocktai...
I see!
Not a lot of emailing from your smartphone, huh? I like the idea of laptops also. I just need to find the perfect one that will let me do my PuristS stuff and play my videogame. Daos
God no!
I am still the kind of guy who has to type three times on the same touch to select the C letter... So emailing from my phone is just a pain in the ... finger. And to say all, I spend so much time on my computer that I don't feel the need to spend some ext...
