Laptop for location work and tethered for shooting in the studio, when I'm going to read or watch something at the kitchen table etc.
I got my mom an iPad when she was in the hospital, so she could have facebook and email etc. I have ended up using the tablet more than she ever did. When just sitting on the couch I find it's super convenient, light weight, the right size, much nicer to manage than my bulky 15' laptop, easy to use and live with.
Desktop I like to build myself. Though it's not difficult I just take a small amount of satisfaction from using a rig I built myself. Also I can get exactly the parts/brands I want. Also it was a response to the bloatware family members had on their PCs. Though it didn't last I also moved over to Linux and didn't need a preloaded OS, so I decided I'd build my own desktop.
