I have multiple desktops at home and at work. More power for less money.
 
No, stopped using a desktop pc about 12 years ago. However, having recently acquired a business - I have been using my macbook as my work laptop and am slowly starting to get tired of lugging it around every day. This then put me onto the process of looking for a windows laptop to use - but theyre so phenomenally expensive for anything with a decent screen and decent specs that I may as well just go back to the old days and use a desktop.
 
Oh yes. At home I use a desktop exclusively, at work I use both a desktop and a laptop (with the laptop serving as the coding and compiling device while I do my browser-based things on the inferior desktop) and at school I use a laptop.
 
Yes.. Use both desktop and laptop.

Some heavier applications I use work better on the desktop.
 
Mainly tablet/phone, but cannot do photo editing and colour corrections on these devices.

Also, major document edits are easier with a keyboard.

Also 2, Tshwane Municipality (and SARS amongst others) won't let you read a statement without a PC version of Acrobat.
 
Yes of course.

Gaming, spreadsheets, development.

Tablets are completely out of the question, and laptops are inferior to desktops in areas that are important to me: price, performance, ergonomics.

I have a laptop for away work, but this doesn't need to be very powerful at all.
 
Yes, to a certain extent I only work on desktops; gaming PC in my room, HP business desktop at work and even my media server, despite being hooked up to a TV, could be considered a desktop PC. :)
 
I use my desktop all the time. At work and at home. At home for gaming and all browsing and downloading. At work for, well, work. Everything from browsing to mail and documenting work related stuffs. I prefer the big screen keyboard and mouse and abhor the small laptop screens and tiny keyboards and touchpads are the bane of my existence.I know they have a place in society but I would choose a desktop everyday. Even if it was an all-in-one.
 
Yes
Desktop at work to record client details & data- gets moved around on a trolley- killed two laptops at work.
Laptop at home for internet e-mail and work
Desktop at home for checking hard disks & rescuing other ppl's data
 
Rarely, but yes. More to play around with OSs, but mostly work on laptop
