I have a 15" MacBook Pro. I like being portable so I don't really think about the screen size.

 

[Scrapping with Liz]

PC Laptop over here. I do plug into a 24" monitor & use dual screen. Sometimes I'll unplug though and sit on the couch and scrap.

99% of the time I scrap on my PC Desktop w/two big monitors

When I go away from weekend retreats I even pack up my desktop. I used to take my laptop, but it's so small in comparison and so much slower than I figured if I'm going to dedicate a weekend to scrapping, I wanna have the best tools possible to make it productive!

I think you need another option. Laptop or PC, other operating system. I used to use Ubuntu (Linux OS) on a laptop with GIMP

I am so very spoiled I have a desktop with a solid state drive and two huge monitors 21" and I have PSE on my laptop and can scrap on it when we are away, but home is by the far the easiest and quickest for me.

 

[Kiana]

Desktop with double monitors!!!

very surprised to see the split between PC and Mac users. It has always seemed that it was skewed the other direction.

We have a desktop and laptop, laptop is mine, I only use it and scrap and design on it. I have a 17" which is very handy to design.

All my scrapping stuff lives on my 1-year old, 15 inch MacBook Pro. It replaced a 6 year old 13 inch MBP. I upgraded to a 1T HD and I think 18 GB of RAM. I can't sit at a desk to scrap, so I've always used a laptop. I take it with almost everywhere.

Right, it feels like there are more Mac users.

Hmmm... I wonder if it goes in cycles? I know when Windows 10 was dropping, it felt like everyone was a PC user!

If the house caught on fire, I'd be carrying my iMac out! then I'd run back for my EHDs!

And that's why I have online backup! I can grab my pressure cooker instead

I think because us Mac girls are vocal lol!


I have a 15" Macbook Pro. I would love to have a desktop set up with double screens, but I doubt I would use it (I typically scrap in front of the TV, the way our desk is set up my back would be to the TV, so it would be scrap alone or 'watch' tv with my hubby and feel like we're doing something together lol)

I used to own a Windows laptop because of the money and the up-and-go character. But 80% of the time my laptop would sit set on my desk or dining room table so I wasn't using it as a laptop.
Now that I got a work laptop from the school I teach at, I bought an iMac for home to scrap on and I've never been happier for this. It's huge (27") and mostly wireless. I easily scrap double pages in the same window. Never going back!

And I'm actually surprised there are so many Mac people! It sure is not the norm in my world around here!
