Right now I'm using a Samsung R530 laptop, but I also use a self-built PC that my dad helped me with. I don't know much about the specs of my laptop, but what I can remember is that is has 2GB of ram and 120GB storage. I'm going to get a new phone soon, so I might get the mobile app.

iPad 2. Not using the app, just browsing the full forum. I'm using a Logitech keyboard cover to type. (The new "Ultrathin" one.)
 
17" Laptop with a 15" LCD monitor attached by VGA. I rarely browse this website on my cell phone.
 
MacBook Pro, or the Enterprise desky in the lounge room. Also have used an iPad 2 in the past at school. They still havn't caught on. :P
 
^ I've used Android before, I'm really kinda torn between it and iOS, and being an overall Apple fanboy, you could assume that I must have liked Android a lot. I guess you'd have to use them for extended periods of time to really get a feel for which you prefer.

I think my life would be made if I could take an Android phone (since hardware specs are useraly better than the iPhone) and put the iOS software on it. I guess that'd be illegal in one way or another...

Haha yeah and apple would file for a sales bann of the android phone, I had an Ipod touch 4G (4 th gen) for about a year, and found it was, less than expected, except for battery life, apple is a master of battery life, i didn't like you couldn't customize, anything... everybody had the same thing, but my dad had a Droid 1 and i LOVED that, so i played with my dads phone and loved it more, so i spent about 3 months researching tablets, and finally settled for the transformer (one of the best you could get at the time) and loved it ever since, i never cared for how restricted everything was on my iPod i guess thats why i switched :/
 
I'm reading this with a Lenovo G470 laptop. It has a second generation Intel Core i5 2450M with an AMD Radeon Graphics, 8GB RAM, 500GB HDD, 14" WXGA LED display and a Windows 7 Home Premium. Great laptop this is!

Desktop, even though the box itself is sitting on the floor next to my desk rather than on top of it.

Have you tried Andriod 4.0? The Galaxy SIII has it and it's quite well designed compared to the older Andriod 2.0-2.3. I've used the HTC interface but I'm not a fan of it. I've tried using the iphone 3 and iphone 4 but I never liked the interface at all. Typing on either of them is horrible and then it has the problem of having one button(never works well for me), no SD card slot, you have to use the apple connector so you are forced to buy higher priced accessories if you want to make use of it.

The only other PC I use to browse on GTP is my Desktop PC(built it myself) hooked up to the 34" HDTV(Has a weird problem of over scanning on HDMI so I have a custom resolution so I can see the whole desktop).

I agree in the apple front, however if you have a iPhone or iPod touch, then jailbreak it, it completely changes the device. Aside from the obvious free apps, which I haven't use because I actually do believe in paying somebody for the work they have done, the level of customisation is unprecedented.

Yeah we have the same problem but our media centre (pc with 2.5 TB storage and 4 GB MEMORY) Is hooked up to the newest sharp 67" 3d tv.

Personally I don't think cydia's customization possibilities is anywhere near androids, I don't think you can use a custom launcher I could be wrong though, and you don't have to jailbreak to customize your android device.
 
My HTC amaze
Snapdragon S3 dual core 1.5GHz processor. 1GB of ram, 16GB of onboard storage. Qhd screen (960x540 4.3inch screen) 8 MP rear camera, 2MP front camera. Decent phone from my view
 
My Compaq CQ43-310AU laptop. It features an AMD E-450 APU runnning @ 1.65 GHz, 4GB DDR3 ram, a Raedon 6320 GPU, 320GB hard drive and a 14" BrightView HD LED display.

Either that, or I'm viewing the site on the family desktop (2.5GHz Pentium Dual-core E5200, 3GB ram, HD4350, 500GB HDD) or my Samsung Galaxy SII smartphone running Android 4.0.3
