My daily driver phone is a Galaxy s10e (which I bought when my s7 got hinkey, because it could more or less fit into the same leather wallet case). It is not rooted because TBH I don't do much more than calls, web, chat, email on it (in that order).
Work requires an android security patch level less than 6 months old, so I decided the new Pixel 8 pro would give me at least 7 years before I have to replace it. I use it on Wifi only, and my life is improved by not always being connected to work. It takes nice pictures but so far I am wasting all that power. I need it to last 7 years.
I have an Android tablet for movies on travel (Galaxy Active Tab Pro). But mostly - I prefer a machine I have close to full control over. I am a Windows guy, so I have a a 2014 era HP x360 for super light "throw it in bag and forget it" and a cheap Dell Latitude refurb which came with a GPU (200 bucks shipped), 32gb RAM and a 2018 era i7. It runs older games admirably. When I had my work stuff on my s10e, I would bring the x360 on vacay instead of my work laptop and just use Dex if something blew up which needed my attention. (Mostly not needed, but I lole to be ready).
I have a NAS device running Windows Server 2022 which does backup / JellyFin / misc duties. It is an old i7 from 2015 with 32gb DDR3. Runs like a champ.
I am looking at some point to clean up my Google account by pulling everything down and burning it to MDISC.
I have a fairly modern gaming PC I built, but mostly don't use it. The Dell laptop is my daily driver personal machine and I love it. Possibly the best 200 bucks I have spent in my computing life.
