Tablets are just TOO small for me. I've been using a laptop for several years, and I love being able to type on a full sized keyboard, and I can see the screen no problem!

Do Ipads count as tablets? I have only been successful with laptops.

The iPad is tiny, but the iPod is about the size of a small book. Still too small for me. I just keep my laptop plugged in because I use it pretty much in one place. But if I wanted to go somewhere with it, it will run on the batteries for a few hours....I think. I've never had to use it elsewhere. LAPTOPS RULE!!!

An iPad is a mobile device but not the same as a tablet.

My iPad (iPad2, one of the older ones) is 9.5x7.5". The screen is 8x6".

I mostly use my kindle fire these days. Type face and style is easily adjustable, and I've learned how to type pretty quickly with one finger. For long letters, though, and a couple of unique apps, I use my laptop. But since I spend she much time in bed,c the kindle suits just fine. And I take it everywhere. It is calendar, game, movie, tv center, and of course library, all in one.

My wife has a kindle fire. Her second one as she wore the first one out! She takes it everywhere. She also has a Surface that I have sitting up by the TV in the living room to hook it toi the TV. A funny story: I handed her my laptop to look at something and she tried to run her finger down to move the page! My problem is I shake too much. I even use a wireless mouse instead of the mouse pad on the laptop.

My problem with the laptop is that when I have tried them in the store I can't type well at all. I need a key board, which means I have nothing but a desk top computer. This brings on the problem of having to come into my office and sit in a straight chair to come on computer.

Gary, my husband's new laptop does indeed have a touch screen. Just run your hand down the page! And, Virginia, a keyboard. If you don't look keep the one on the laptop itself, you can get a separate keyboard, mines wireless, some plug in, that might work better for you.

Since I got my iPhone 2 years ago, I rarely use my Macbook Pro. This Christmas, Husband upgraded me (woo hoo) to a 6s plus. It is big but he thought it would help everything I do on it w the bigger screen. It does.

Cat, I know I am way behind as far as computers are concerned, however I am a good bit older than you. In spite of that I worked part-time since 1999 until 3 years ago. About 2 or 3 years before that I brought my work in house (accounting) and was still able to make some money (well a little) until my tremor got so bad I finally gave up. I was working on desk top with keypad in the office and also here at home using an accounting program. If I had a computer problem the people I worked for fixed it, so I never learned anything other than the programs I used. Now, to be honest, I just don't care to learn like I use to. I know that is bad, but I worked for so very many years that now I had just rather read and do what I want to. Occasionally, I find something that I want to read about that is good for my mind. I was mentally active for years past what healthy people normally are due to husband's death. I have not had anyone but myself to lean on. But as Peg, says I am still here. Anyway, that is the reason I just don't want to get too involved with computers other than what I know.

Another reason is because when I am up in the day I sit in my living room which is where I am when I read. There is an end table next to my chair and I keep my kindle and water or a snack there, but I do not have a plug in for a laptop in that area.

Ah, Virginia, I misunderstood. I thought you only had the desktop. If you have a kindle fire, you can go online, come anywhere on the web, post, get emails, etc.
