Poll: Is the laptop vs. netbook battle shifting?

I traded my netbook last week for a Galaxy Tab. never regretted.

im using my tab for browsing the net, email, chat, and light web maintenance while heavy work remains on my desktop.

this is my most productive setup so far.

a. I have a laptop and a netbook.

I am consistently satisfied with my netbook and a Small-screen Tablet.

i prefer for high specs of laptop and tablet… my laptop has core i7.. for gaming and designg… while my ipad tablet for bsic wrkon nt,

Netbook and Laptop, my machines ages well, just feed them with new apps. My Ipod touch is also one of my portable device for wifi internet. I will still buy a tablet soon but I am happy at my current gadgets at the moment.

Used to be ‘G’ but my desktop died recently so now just ‘A’

i believe it is not shifting, but it has already shifted. that’s why we see acer and asus dropping in their worldwide sales for netbook.

as for the survey, i have powerful desktops and laptops for work and business, a tablet for leisure and browsing, and smartphones for mobile.

F <– haha… pag may desktop ka na… bakit ka pa magla-laptop or magne-netbook? shempers tablet nalang para sosyal at maiba naman!

well, i have a macbook hooked up to a monitor, a keyboard, mouse, and a set of speakers that transform it into a desktop while im at home. i also have an iPad with me. ill stick with B.

when i leave home to go somewhere and ill only need internet connectivity and a few time-passers such as games and such, i use my ipad. however, when im going somewhere far and will make me leave home for more than a day or i need to do serious work, i bring my laptop.

I’m going 3years with my netbook, and it took me to great lengths! convenient, easy-to-carry. Netbooks come with better specs now in cheaper and cheaper prices. tablets? so-so… I still can’t see the need for it. Laptops are still the best contender for netbook, its only downside is its weight.

i have a laptop and netbook. but i prefer desktop and laptop. more computing power!
tablet? i’ll go for a smartphone, Samsumg Galaxy S II :-s

Right now…I only have a laptop…I am planning to have a Samsung Tab…to replace my mobile phone…as a portable communicating device. hehehehe

I’m in the same boat as Noir above,
have all 4 (desktop, netbook, laptop, tablet)

But if I had to choose two, I would pick
d. Desktop and Laptop

I feel that this combo best serves my needs for functionality as well as portability. The netbook is far too small for me to do any lengthy work on it while the tablet is best served for casual web browsing only.

G… Can’t help but to be updated..desktop in my room…an acer laptop for media works…sony vaio p “netbook” for my on the go…just bought an ipad 2 for my presentations/demos… It works best…and a galaxy tab… just a treat for myself and a taste of android…bunga ng pagpupuyat sa trabaho…

Desktop & Laptop

Desktop + Tablet (though di sya talaga tablet HTC Desire HD)

i have an ipad..kci upcoming 4th year highshool
pa lng aq.nd pa masyadong gamitin
ang laptop .pero pag nag college na ako
i think i will prefer to buy a macbook..than netbook
B.laptop & tablet

i have D. shifting?? in some ways yes. knowing pinoys kahit hirap kung anu uso grab talaga :D but for me, it boils down on what you really need. ewan ko lang ah.. for me kc y buy a tablet if it may cost u a better laptop?a 20k-25k laptop is a decent one na.way better than a tablet. i’m trying to figure out.db nkakangawit un paghandle ng tablet when using it?so people buy external keyboard para mailatag na un tablet.i find this one very funny.

I belong to a different group… for two years I used a netbook + mid priced laptop combination. The pair would cost me less than a higher end ultraportable laptop which would be powerful enough for daily use and light enough for daily carry.

In 2010, when laptop prices went down in general… I opted for just a single laptop. A 13-inch MacBook Air (which cost half as much as it did when originally released) meets both needs for sufficient power and portability.

Laptop and netbook ang preference. Kasi ‘yang mga tablets na ‘yan laruan lang ‘yan, eh. Pero kung may magbigay sa akin ng tablet, ah, ‘yun na.

Just to add some more.. Are we under the illusion that majority of us can buy tablets? A large part of our society can not afford to buy those things. It makes MORE sense for the public to buy netbooks as they are getting cheaper. A little more money then you’d be able to buy a decent laptop. Students and young professionals alike NEED these. Tablets are for those who can afford them. They’re like bling for the typical netizen.

Desktop for home use and Laptop for mobility.

Desktop for gaming
Laptop for Mobility
Ipad for browsing (lalo na pag nasa bed )

I have a desktop, 2 laptop and 1 netbook.

Still contemplating if I am going to buy a tablet.

So far my set-up with my existing gadgets are in order.

Smartphone (iPhone 4)
and netbook (HP Mini 110) for me.
iPhone for social networking and fun.
And the netbook for work. :)

all 4, simple lang ang dahilan, bawat gamit eh para sa specific na task, alangan namang dalhin ko desktop ko kahit saan, ano ko sira? me nagagawa ang desktop ko na di magagawa ng laptop ko lalo na’t bihira ma upgrade or expand ang laptop di gaya ng desktop. tapos heto ang tablet, maaring me magawa ang tablet na kaya ng laptop ganon pa man, di pa rin lahat. minsan me mga engot na ikukumpara ang iba’t ibang gamit tapos magtatanong kailangan pa ba to or hindi na hindi naman naiintindihan kung bakit ginawa yung gamit at para sa kung ano. at marami akong nakitang komento dito na nagpapakita na nakakaintindi. ganon pa man, nasa tao rin ang kompromiso kung ok na sa kanya ang gamit o hindi, gaya na lang ng mga taong ginagamit ang flat screwdriver dahil alang paet sa paglilok, o kutsilyo dahil alang screwdriver pag me gustog tanggalin na turnilyo. at siyempre, kung meron lang perang pambili, kung marami, alang kinalaman kung ano ang ano dahil oks lang dahil no probs sa budget

Price and function still commands the market share of laptops, netbooks, and tablets. At present, tablets haven’t progressed yet to the point of having the core functions of a PC/MAC. The price of tablets are also prohibitive so their penetration is for the niche market, at best. My current setup is: laptop + netbook. Still haven’t found a necessity to go for a tablet.

my setup is desktop for gaming because it’s cheaper to upgrade.

my laptop for my online work because it saves electricity even if it is turned on all day.

my windows mobile phone for everything else. i’m still on the hedge with tablets. maybe if the prices become cheaper.

its desktop+laptop+tablet for me before but I prefer desktop+laptop+netbook now, there is something that a physical keyboard that no touch interface can suffice.

Upgraded Core i5 8GbRAM 160GbSSD Laptop (Vaio) + Smartphone (iPhone)
but am torn between waiting for the iPad 2 and buying the Samsung Galaxy Tab so I can ditch the laptop while on travel…

g) all 4
hp desktop
acer laptop
lenovo netbook
ipad 16 gb wifi

Laptop (Acer Aspire 1830T Timeline X) and Tablet (Apple iPad 1) for me.

Laptop and Desktop.

Desktop doesnt age much as the laptop, price consciouswise din

Laptop, Id prefer ultrathin btw, to get more out of my mobile needs. Netbook is too slow for me and quite impractical for my needs and same goes to tablet, kulang na kulang ako sa functions, eye candy lang nga.

…sige nga mag office 2007/2010 ka nga sa Tablet?
…kakasoldout lng ng Asus 1015 PEM netbook sa VIllman

at mas mura netbook sa tablet, besides pwede ka rin mag angry birds sa netbook ^^, san ka pa.

The Asus EeePC Transformer just came out, a 10.1″ tablet that can dock into a keyboard for extra battery and lots of different ports. Tas + desktop ok na suguro needs mo.

sa huli depende parin yan sa kung ano ba ang kailagan nyong gadget sa kung ano mang gagawin nyo,kung saan kau comfortable e di un ang gamitin… wala nalang pakialaman hehe PEACE to U all

It’s hard to say, everyone says that the netbook will be killed off by the tablet, but I think the old school amongst us can get something new from a netbook (increased portability & battery life) and the fact that they are a lot cheaper than laptops! My biggest problem when trying to get a decent computer before was always finding reputable laptop suppliers!
