discuss I’m doing all my domaining with a tablet. What about you?

[Fancy.domains]

I used my iMac for all my domaining business before, but now I’ve switched to an iPad. So instead of sitting at my desk with my computer, I’m now semi-sitting in my sofa with my tablet. Still, I try to work the same amount of hours per day.

It seems to work very well. Most of the websites I use are adapted for mobile platforms nowadays.

What about you? Are you mainly using your computer, your tablet, or your smartphone for your domaining? Or a mix of devices?

Laptop during the day, tablet at night. I'm amazed how you can do everything with just those two. I rarely sit in front of a desktop computer anymore. The great thing about this business is you can do it from anywhere in the world as long as you have internet access.

When I travel I bring a Chromebook, a Kindle Fire HD 8 and my 2 cell phones. It all fits in a slim laptop bag and weighs almost nothing even with power cords.

If I reach a point where I can live off domaining I am going to close down my web hosting business and travel all around the USA for a year with just my little device collection and do domaining from where ever I stop.

I use mainly my phone and an ipad but occasionally a laptop too.

Its good that you're able to sit on your sofa and be productive. Some people need to be sat at a desk to get into the working frame of mind and not get distracted. I know someone who started out working from home and ended up renting an office space so he could "drive to work" which increased his productivity.

23" Desktop on Linux.
I don't like small displays. And, probably, will switch to 4K screen next year.

I'm still using a desktop. I'd like to transition to a tablet or laptop but I cant see it happening anytime soon.

Most of the time laptop, sometimes smartphone. I work better with laptop, when i get tired i use smartphone.

No at a minimum a laptop (MacBook Pro) is needed for any serious internet or computer work. I also have a dual screen iMac Pro which is even more preferable.

Interestingly when on the go I just use an iPhone X (versus an iPad) but it’s definitely not as easy to use for say, research of domain prices with follow up of postings on a for sale forum or with emails to a potential buyer, as the laptop or desktop.

I think if you’re on the go using the most handheld device (smart phone) is what’s called for. If you’re stationary why go halfway to a tablet (iPad) why not all the way to using a laptop or desktop.

The main advantage to laptop / desktop is ability to open multiple windows simultaneously and refer or copy/paste between them. You don’t get that with a phone or tablet - one just has a larger screen but both are equally limited in the multi department. I see no point in the tablet at all for on the go serious work.

A wide, wide mix - home mini-PC + 32" UHD display in main office, Microsoft Surface for portable computing/tablet, Dell Latitude for the upstairs office, iPhone while watching TV/movies.

Mostly laptop and some time phone.

iPhone for me but when I send out emails to potential end users, I use a laptop and Google Chrome with HubSpot extension so I can track the emails.

I mostly use a PC (Linux of course). I do lots of stuff at the same time like development so I need a keyboard and a large screen.
I have even bought a pocket computer to use while on the move (yeah it's back to the 80s here).

I use a mix of an old Mac mini with a 24 in external monitor along with an older iPad. Interesting to see that the majority of responses so far either Mac or Linux, plus some sort of mobile, somewhat surprising.

Nothing beats a good desk (chair keyboard mouse) and a large screen.
With proper desktops it's like you're in command of something lol.
You get more comfort and focus, you can do more things, and everything is easier like opening a new tab.
A laptop on a desk is a different experience.

95%+ of my work is on the desktop. I need a real keyboard, decent size screen. Then when I'm out and about, Iphone.

But I'm looking for something to add. The other day while I was working out, then eating, I had 3 auctions that were ending at about the same time. It was a bit of a pain on the phone. So not sure if I should go for laptop or something like the Ipad. Something I can move around easy.

 

[DOMAIN ILLUMINATI]

desktop + laptop + smartphoneee

 

[J Sokol]

I use an iMac when I'm at home and a MacBook Air when I'm out - sometimes at home I use them both. It's easier to use a second device than to keep toggling between screens. I like the desktop for the larger screen.

Laptop. I would like to work on desktop but frankly i don't even have one now, since my old one died after grid jump caused by thunderstorm a few years ago, and i didn't buy a new one because i travel a lot and am hardly in one place for more than couple months now, so having a desktop would have a little sense. But i hope to settle down a bit in the months to come so i will get myself a nice desktop, big monitor and everything.

Can't imagine working on phone. Every time i'm out and there is an auction and i'm on the phone - it's a PAIN.
