On a netbook because I am able to take it everywhere with almost no extra weight. There is also very good battery life and they are much easier to use on the go than my old and heavy laptop.

Netbook got my vote by poll. I bought netbook as back up. I realized that heavy use netbook as pimary computer since my compaq 17inch laptop itself blew up and dead for no reason, :( . I will no longer buy the 17'inch laptop replacment desktop anytime. I will rebuild my sweet desktop PC soon. However I do safisty with netbook for travel, go coffee shop, etc when necessary.. ;)

Desktop! At work I'm surrounded by desktops. My desktop being more comfortable to use draws more time than my portables. I've always preferred a full keyboard, desk and mouse. I'm picky.

I voted laptop since most of casual browsing/internet activity is done from my Latitude D630. Sure I probably spend most of my time on a desktop since that is what I use at work, but it is used less for internet activity and more for work.

I chose netbook. I carry it with me everywhere and because of that it is what I use to get online most often. I probably prefer using my desktop or my laptop, but the netbook is usually what is most convenient to use most often.

Anyone use their gaming console to get online (other than to play online games)? I occasionally use my PS3 to browse the web, usually when I am already on it playing games. It has made great improvements in the last few updates and now works with most video sites like youtube and hulu.com. It seems like a pretty decent alternative when you want to view videos on a larger display.

I use my PS3 to browse online somtimes as well, just for the heck of it. It is somewhat limiting though, not having a keyboard and having to use a controller for navigation. I also wish they would improve their navigation menu, like adding an address bar that you can easily input urls into....

To be honest, I do that myself as well. It's easier than booting up my Eee PC 701 or Asus N10.
