Interesting that they use the word "Computer" instead of "Desktop" for non-mobile devices.

- pavement 10y agoLaptops fall under the same basic umbrella of usage patterns as Desktops, but are also mobile.
- hackuser 10y agoWhat word would you use for the class of machines that are desktops and laptops? It's a real, if not very important, question that I've never found a good answer for.
- hartator 10y agoLol, I always on the lookout for an answer to this as well. I use Browsers vs Mobile Browsers vs Desktop Apps vs Mobile Apps if I want to be precise. But, yeah, it's usually confusing.
- nefitty 10y agoAt work I ask "Are you using your phone or your computer?" It's generally non-techie people that will get confused and might consider their tablet a "computer", but that is pretty rare.
