The year 2011 has seen so many tablets invading the market. It seems like the golden age of netbooks has come and gone and tablets have replaced it as the preferred portable computing device.
Still, despite the growing popularity of tablets, I think a significant percentage of the consuming public still prefer netbooks (or, due to lack of budget, are still stuck with their old netbooks).
As such, we’re seeing netbooks being sold at under Php15k (or 30-50% cheaper than what they used to be).
So is the “laptop vs. netbook” battle shifting to “netbook vs. tablet”? For people who have multiple (at least 2) computing device, what’s your usual combination?
a) Laptop & Netbook
b) Laptop & Tablet
c) Netbook & Tablet
d) Desktop & Laptop
e) Desktop & Netbook
f) Desktop & Tablet
g) All 4

Desktop+Laptop for me…
hell no for useless girls toy netbook and tablet…
>;-D
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…
^ *correction.. ‘something on a..’
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.
All 4.
1. I leave my powerhouse at home.
2. My netbook provides decent PC performance with great portability.
3. My laptop for when I go out on conventions out of town for at least a day or two, provides more power than the netbook. And let’s face it, netbooks don’t really say “I’m here on business.”
4. My iPad makes for good quick RSS feed, news and updates reading and facebooking while I cross my hands waiting for the Galaxy Tab 10.1 or the Blackberry Playbook to hit the market. Sure I can do that with my iPhone, but I’m not really fond of small screens.
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.
Mine is “B”
Laptop + Tablet

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.
It’s now B for me since I just recently purchased an iPad. Laptops for work and playing facebook games (addicted to this). My iPhone and iPad are for light web browsing, tracking things (like expenses, blood pressure, period, hehehe), and reading books.
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
Smartphone (iPhone 4)

laptop & netbook combination for me… the former’s my desktop replacement while the latter’s my “leisure” gadget.
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.
D. MacMini at the office and a Macbook which I bring anywhere, even on my recent trips to HK and Singapore.
At the airport though, I get to see a lot of people using their tablets. Di naman ako masyadong naiinggit. Parang gusto ko lang silang tapunan ng sapatos ko.
Desktop for gaming
Laptop for Mobility
Ipad for browsing (lalo na pag nasa bed )
D here. I use desktop for work and laptop for entertainment. Maybe if I can save some, then I’ll buy a tablet soon. :D
Desktop for home use and Laptop for mobility.
I go for letter A, it is more practical for me. http://youshudno.blogspot.com/
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.
