Since I broke my foot, I've done almost everything on my iPad. For the
first 6 weeks, I could only sit at my desk for 20-30 minutes at a
Office Laptop at work. It stays at office.
At home, 7 year old HP lpatop with Windows 7. If someone is using that
laptop then there is an older Dell with Ubuntu. Laptop mostly used on
weekends
Samsung Galaxy Note 3 ( 4 yeards old ) Phone for daily facebook and mail.

Facebook, no Netflix, etc for at least 2 hours a day.
