While I realize that some folks prefer a laptop or even a mac, they are not for me. Upgradeability is important to me.
I really appreciate a full sized keyboard, a large screen (increasing in importance as I get ever more antique).
Case size and portability are completely unimportant, to me... the separate desktop powering the entertainment center is 'way more handy than carrying a laptop or tablet around, IMO (I have very briefly considered getting a laptop or tablet to use as a fancy remote control for the entertainment center... not really worth the effort as long as I can get handheld remote controls (for the computer).
As far as smart phones; got one; promptly disabled most apps and the internet connection as potential security concerns...IT'S A PHONE, it needs to be able to let me talk to remote people, which it is only marginally good for. (I also keep assorted music on it and its obsolete brethren; for camping (Bluetooth speaker connection); kind of important where there is no cell or WiFi coverage - the best locations, IMO).
I say; use whatever option you prefer; Its best for you!
Enjoy!
