    When browsing the internet, are you finding yourself using your smartphone more often? Or are you still using your computer? I find myself relaxing on the couch, browsing with my iphone, while my laptop sits idle. :confused:

    Why would you use something with a smaller screen, is slower, and more difficult to use?

    I want an ipad for this reason alone... but with a nice laptop, i have a hard time justifying a nearly $1k tablet for searching the internet.... mostly for p*rn.

    Why do people need a tablet to browse? Is it that much harder to browse on a laptop?

    I use my phone a lot, but if I have a choice, I would much rather browse on my laptop, not sure why anyone would say otherwise.

    Convenience. My iphone is always on my person, hence it is the first thing I reach for (even though my ring finger is significantly longer than my index finger, making touch browsing all the more difficult).

    Browsing on the computer is far superior..............

    Easier to read, faster load times, faster typing.


    It is definitely better in every aspect.

    My phone, cause it's always on me. If I'm near a computer, like here at work, then definitely a computer.

    A lousy keyboard - or lack thereof - along with a tiny display is a deal-breaker when it's for my primary and secondary device. I'll accept the constricted experience for my smartphone, but not for when I'm at home.

    At home: 24" IPS external monitor hooked up via HDMI to laptop, keyboard & mouse, 2.1 speakers = amazing web browsing experience.
