    I have a couple of laptops. But since I got my playbook, most of the things I do is usually on the playbook.

    Have a desktop, work laptop, and a personal netbook. The netbook saw some couchtime, but now it is all about the PlayBook!

    I have a laptop through work but otherwise I just use my playbook and 9900. This combo makes me happy.

    Garbage laptop for work. Desktop to do "real" work. Playbook for most of my entertainment and communication needs. Really putting most of my eggs in one basket with this tablet, hoping to keep it for a while.

    I have had a notebook a long time but since I got the playbook last month it hardly ever sees any use except to add songs to my Zune player and backup my phone and Playbook

    My laptop is hooked up to my HD tv. I only turn it on when I want to backup my PB or my garmin etc. It's all about the PB! I have 3 other tablets (including an iPad) that do not see the light of day.

    YAY RIM!!!

    Yes I have a desktop, laptop and PlayBook, guess which one gets the most use . I would say a least 85% of the time.

    I don't own a laptop, however I was helping out a friend install an anti-virus program today.

    What I found really surprising was that the PB native browser in 2.0, was putting to shame IE 10 and Firefox....Now that is impressive. I'm not the only one on the forum who thinks the PB browser is better then all other browsers ......Then again I'm committed to living a mobile only existence. So far....so good

    I'm seriously geeky, so in my home I have the following:

    -A Dell PowerEdge server running Windows Small Business Server 2008
    -Refurb HP desktop with a decent video card as "family/kids" PC
    -Wife's custom-built PC
    -My personal unit, a Dell Precision laptop that lives on a dock in my office

    My laptop is used for maybe 20% of my computing needs now (development work, mostly) and it hasn't left its dock except for when my wife and I use iTunes to watch episodes of "Breaking Bad" in bed

    Except for that... (Netflix? Please? Soon?), everything else I use my Playbook...

    I bought a ASUS netbook in July 2009 and the Playbook in November 2011. The netbook is my desktop backup now should my hard drive crash or I get infected with a virus.

    Up to now the playbook hasn't gotten much use. I hope to change that with OS 2.0.

    I have a desk top and a laptop. I want another laptop, a new desk top and I would love to have a second PlayBook for my wife.

    I'm finding that for maybe 95% of my internet needs, I prefer the Playbook over the PC.

    The mobile browsing experience is seriously, SERIOUSLY good; RIM desperately needs to sell this experience to people, because it might just be the closest thing to a "killer app" that the PB has right now (BB Remote, maybe...).

    Desktop - kiddo's gaming machine
    Laptop - kiddo's school tool
    IPads (1&2) - wife's browser, but waiting for her PlayBook to get here in couple of days
    Netbook - used exclusively for installing BBOS and Skype calls
    PlayBook - my workhorse on the go
