    I'm going with computer. The phone is too small and difficult to use when I am no more than a few feet away from a PC with a large monitor.

    99% of the time on my desktop, I don't like small screens, even a laptop is too small for my liking and accessing the internet on a phone is a pain.

    I chose 'Both" but 90% of the time I'm on my PC. I mainly only use my phone if I'm out and waiting for an appointment or waiting in line somewhere and want to kill time.

    Generally, 90% of the times, I use a pc, to work or for fun. I access to internet with the smartphone to find a restaurant, to use Maps and things like this

    99% on PC, that's why I voted for PC.

    USA still the best. But barely.
    99% PC, 1% Phone & I voted both. If I had better eyesight (I have glasses not the same) I'd use the Phone a LOT more.

    Both but smartphone only when I'm not at my computer or tablet. I much prefer the computer for browsing, then tablet, then phone when it's my only option.

    Mostly PC, occasionally an ad hoc tablet (a deprovisioned smartphone used on Wi-Fi), and a true smartphone only when necessary, mostly for sites which block the Wi-Fi from my building or if I need to read the news when I'm out..

    Computer only. I deliberately chose to keep my phone "dumb." Here in NYC, people are stuck to their phones and there's a lot of robbery and theft, esp. on the subway.

    Same as tablet for me, yet I answered computer because I never use my phone.
    Please feel free to join me.

    Both
    When I work I use laptop 99% of the time. But of course during work I don't have time to read too much news, not to mention comment on them.

    In personal time it is probably 65% for phone and 35% for laptop. After sitting behind desk 8h I don't like sitting too much anymore.
    With phone I can listen to some podcast being in shop or doing some cooking
    Also switching from one laptop to another is kind of a barrier when I have a phone within a hand reach.
    Last but not least I would be looking weird bringing laptop to the squat rack at the gym, but to each his own

    100% computer. I don't own and would NOT own a Smart Phone, I have a Flip Phone.

    Laptop or phone, but mouse/keys much preferred. :D
