it is like a minefield lol. There are some budget chromebooks that look tempting but guessing they're not going to run great. I will update this with what I decide and how I am getting on. It's my birthday tomorrow so what better time to treat myself

Mine is only a 2gb ram model and cost £180. It's more than adequate for comping, browsing, shopping etc and never had a problem with streaming either.

I have one too and am doing the same right now but with the cover instead of a cushion on a break from work. (Although I have a USB mouse). I don't have or want a smartphone or Ipad and find this is the easiest way to catch up on comping when I'm out and about.


At home I use my Macbook with a USB mouse.

so far so good with my HP chromebook. I got it 2nd hand for under 100. I've still been doing some on desktop as I have hotkeys set up on there which makes certain competitions faster to enter.

I use a Dell XPS laptop (no idea which model it is) the screen isn't too big, but it was second hand off eBay and I find it can cope well with multiple tabs open.

I love using a laptop as I can just relax and watch tv whilst comping... until the dog has had enough and he'll put his head on the keyboard!

I was using an ipad but it got very slow and I thought a laptop would be easier as well as quicker. I got a HP Pavilion and have to say it is amazing. I've had it a few years and love it. I thought I might benefit from a bluetooth mouse and we had one but soon found the mouse pad works well. I don't know how I put up with comping on an ipad for so long.

i've not used my desktop at all today (although Feb seems so quiet for me comps wise so have not had loads to do)

Click2wins have been a pain as the adverts on the sites slow it down loads, so have been doing them on my phone as they load a lot quicker, I only do a select few. Other than that the chromebook has been great and glad I purchased... I do miss having hot keys set up but I am getting a lot more on done I thought I would

I have never had a desk top and always use a laptop, I have a Sony vaio, I enter comps using the original IE browser, post comps using Chrome and for the mag dailies I use chrome.

Has to be a desktop for me as I like lots of screens. Currently got 2 x 27" monitors and 2 x 21 inch monitors. Seems like overkill but I manage to fill them all. I'll use a tablet / phone / laptop if i'm not at my desk but it takes so much longer to do anything.
