How many computers do you have?

I have a hp pentium computer with Vista that needs repair, another hp with windows 10 on it, my smart phone, my smart tv.

I have an old laptop that I love but it tends to overheat and it's too expensive to fix.

I have a touch-screen laptop that's almost a year old that I hate with a burning passion. It has Windows 10, which I hate with an equal burning passion.

An overheating laptop might not be much to fix. One of the grandkids picked up one at a garage sale doing the same thing. I took it home, and cleaned it out...it was full of years worth of dust and dirt....and replaced the cooling fan for less than $10, and it has worked good since.

I can understand not liking a touch screen...a keyboard is Much Better, IMO. Regarding W10, what don't you like? If it's a screen full of Aps, I agree...but it is fairly easy to get W10 to look and behave much like W7.
 

We have a Dell All-in-One that is a combination of desktop/laptop/tablet. it has Windows 10 on it, and I seldom use it, but my husband likes it.
Most of the time, we use our iPads, his is an iPad Air, and mine is tha large iPad Pro. I also have a Kindle Fire 7 tablet that I only use for reading because it is small and lightweight, easy to carry around in my purse.
We also have iPhones, his is a 6+, and mine is a 7+.

However, that being said, I now want to get an older iPad Mini as well. I sometimes use the motivational apps to play before
I fall asleep. The iPad Pro is large to take in and put on my nightstand, and the phone works, but it is smaller and harder to read. A Mini would be the perfect size to use for that, and also when I just want to isten to music, or even to take along in my purse when I have to sit and wait somewhere (as in doctor appointment).
I went out to Idaho to visit family earlier this summer, and the big iPad Pro weighs a lot to carry around, especially since it has the keyboard case, and it pretty much filled up my backpack. I don't travel very often, but an iPad Mini with a keyboard case would be perfect for traveling, since it does not take up much room, and can do everything just exactly like the large iPad does.
The Kindle can go online, and I did take it along with me on the trip to Idaho; but I just do not like the way that the Kindle is set up as well as I like the iPads.
 
I have an Acer laptop (gift from my son);

A new PC that's still in the box;

This Dell PC that I've been using since 12/14;

and a Compaq PC that I can't bring myself to throw out because the only problem is the start button doesn't work.
 
One Windows tower. One android tablet. One I pad. Two printers. One ancient black and white Canon. Slow but cheap. One Canon color fast but expensive. Use black and white most printing. And an old Toshiba laptop that is dead and not worth bringing back to life. It's funny but most printers outlast the computers they came with.
 
I have a desktop computer...with tower, monitor, speakers, keyboard, mouse, plus a printer...the whole shebang. It came with Windows 7 installed, which I like enough that I declined a free upgrade to Windows 10. My monitor is an excellent 20-inch flat-screen one, and the various gadgets with small screens don't interest me.

I think you made a good decision in not taking the upgrade- I tried it around a year ago, hated it, and returned to W7 after only a few days.
My new computer has W10- which is one reason it's still in the box!
 
I have only 2: desktop PC tower and Dell Ultrabook laptop. The tower was built by our local computer store and gets periodically upgraded. We always buy top-of-the-line components since like most people we keep our old PCs around forever. I have no issues with Win10, set it up to look like Win7 since I don't need the touchscreen nonsense. It's the server for our home network, which is both wired and wireless.

I chose the Dell XPS13 for its light weight, long battery life, and good keyboard. I'm a fast touch typist and loathe touchscreen entry. Since I write a fair amount - restaurant reviews for my private blog and fanfiction - I need something that can keep up with 85+wpm. It's very good to travel with, great screen, 11-hr battery life.

DH has multiple computers:
Toshiba 17" Qosmio gaming laptop. Monster that's too heavy to be really portable, but he loves it for his videos.
Samsung Tablet. Don't ask me which one, I never use it.
2 of my old Tower PCs, which he uses strictly for downloading movies overnight

And we both have Kindle Paperwhites. Have smartphones but don't use them overmuch.
 
Three laptops, two iPads, one desk set, one tablet, two iPhones and three printers, one is wireless.
 
His and Hers desktops running W10, a Linux that was converted from XP. The Linux displays on the TV in the living room.
There is also a Kindle Fire HD that I have forgotten how to use.

Inspired by Lon's thread: Do-You-Have-A-Large-Flat-Screen-TV, I thought it would be interesting to find out




I'll go first, but I have to tell you up front that building computers is my hobby.

I've owned and/or built many many computers over the past 17 years, currently I am down to just:

(8) desktop computers(tower case); (4) are in use at the moment, two share keyboard+mouse+monitor through use of a KVM switch.

(6) laptops. A 5 year old Dell Inspiron 15.6" AMD laptop(wife's), a 7 year old 10" Asus eeePC netbook, a 2009 Macbook 5,2 laptop, it was a favorite of mine, but the display is bad, so it is on the repair bench, waiting for me to take the time to fix it. I have another Apple laptop, a 2006(1st generation) Macbook Air that my son gave me. It had a bad battery, and trackpad messed up by the swollen battery. Audio is damaged. I replaced the [internal] battery, the laptop is in service and operates normally, except for the sound. Another Apple product I have is a 3 year old iPad Mini, with the Retina display. I wanted the better quality display for doing FaceTime with family members that have iPhones or Apple laptops+ipads. I guess that was pretty much a fad, nobody wants to do FaceTime anymore. :shrug: I have another Dell(Dimension) laptop, older but does work well, acquired from friend I originally repaired for her, she gave it to me because her daughter gave her a newer laptop.

I won't ask about how many cats you have. *lol
 
Two laptops, one upstairs and the other upstairs. One desktop coupled to a laser printer, an A3 inkjet and scanner. Two tablets but rarely used. Smartphone used for telephone calls only
 
*Some* computers :

Server:Supermicro X9DRD-7LN4F-JBOD | (2) Xeon E5-2670 | 128GB DDR3 ECC Registered | Debian 9

Main Desktop: Asrock 79 ext4 | Intel Xeon E2650 | 16GB DDR3 1600 | Fedora 26 Workstation

Office station: GA-78LMT-S2 | Phenom II X4 965 | MSI 8400GS | 4GB DDR3 | Windows 7 Pro + Debian 9

Main Laptop: 16.5"Dell Inspiron I5 7000 | Intel Core i5 |8GB RAM |GTX 1050 | Centos 7

Dell 1001px 10" laptop | Debian 8.5

7" Kindle Fire, modified Android operating system
 
I have two desktops, one for online tasks, the other, offline, for business and investment records. I have a Kindle Paperwhite as well, but it's a reading device only. In an emergency, I could purge private records from my offline computer and put it on line. However, that would be cumbersome, so I'd likely buy a "tablet" or similar (I have no experience whatsoever with these) to use until Dell could deliver a new computer.
