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 then a tablet then an S9 + which is faster than my tablet. Major work like search and others is done on my Hp touchscreen. I switch to that to get cash back and points when I make purchases and renewals,they add up pretty quick .

I'm going to go ahead and buy an ipad tonight, should be here tomorrow. Haven't checked in awhile but they're pretty cheap.

Latest model
32 GB - $249.99
128 GB - $329.00

Now to find a cool case.

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.

If you don't game, these little micro-PCs are insanely small, fast and quiet. I've got a 6-core i7-8700 slapped inside a case the size of an old android media player, and it's sooooo fast it's not funny and it's dead silent as well. Couple that with a nice 32" UHD monitor and you have the space to monitor and duplicate monitor multiple screens, and you can ramp up productivity. Not that expensive either, around $750 US for the entire setup on sale.

Just be careful what you want to use it for, as Apple has gone "Surface" and offers higher-end configs and Pro models with more business features, better pen support, and significantly higher prices.

There is really a line in the sand between "Entertainment" and "Business" iPads.

Thank you very much for all the answers! Interesting.

I will try this:

THIS WEEK: Spend 50 hours of work, only using my tablet.
NEXT WEEK: Spend 50 hours of work, only using my big screen computer.

I will do pretty much the same thing both weeks. After this, I will let you know my thoughts.

I upgraded, about 1.5yrs ago, from my beloved linux openSUSE hand build desktop to a top of the line Intel NUC 4.5" square box, with Windows 10. I'm not sure I really liked the term upgrade. For the hardware it was definitely an upgrade. I think it's been quite a mixed blessing in terms of the software. I think I actually prefer the more limited choices with linux software that the multitude array of software for Windows. The biggest 2 things on my desk are the wireless printer (hardly ever used but necessary all the same), and my power backup. My computer is on 24/7. I live in a hot and humid country. So I also have 2 desktop fans, which take it in turns to cool the NUC (to preserve/elongate it's life). Same 26" Samsung Monitor. I often yearn for the simpler life with openSUSE linux. Life was so much simpler, then. No decisions needed between 20 or more AV programs, running from the inexpensive, to the extortionate, yearly. With all sorts of additions thrown into the mix. This is just 1 example.

Laptop. Been on different laptops since mid-late 90's and I don;t see that change anytime soon. Could never get that feel on a smart phone, even though I send emails occasionally from my Android phone.

IPad Pro since I got my first one. Barely ever get on a computer anymore.

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.

Uhm you can open multiple windows and cut and paste and split screen just fine on an iPad Pro.

*Phew*

At least one more is doing this.

I have two iPad pros including the latest one it’s still not the same as a MacBook Pro by any means.

like others, i use mainly a pc, but when i go to bed, it's the tablet for domaining.

Not sure how u can do the majority of the work on a tablet or phone... i mean, the typing alone is just bs. u need to tab between lists and honestly it takes 4x longer to make lists.

The only great thing about tablets and domaining = looking through lists / reading news. But that's it.

I spent more time looking for a case, almost 4 hours, than the iPad itself.

Both coming today.

Case, over 2000 reviews, 4.9 out of 5, watched a couple of videos that sealed the deal - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075NVZ2QM/

This video sealed it:

Another thing about typing (it’s more like pecking) on a phone or tablet is that over time with heavy use you’ll pay - with orthopedic issues with your finger. Not necessarily permanent injury but trust me you’ll feel it.

I honestly thought typing on a keyboard did more injury than the light fingertaps on a screen...

If you’re typing properly - using all fingers wrists raised, into a good keyboard that requires only a soft touch, absolutely not - versus repeatedly punching the same finger over and over into a hard screen.
