Ask HN: What computers do you use on a daily basis, what for, and why that?
I’m always interested in “daily carry” type questions, but I haven’t seen one from this community. As I look at building a PC again for the first time in a decade, I’m wondering about what my computational needs are in daily life and how I can optimally meet them. Now I’m wondering about yours.
