This includes either desktops or laptops.

Here is my breakdown:


Gaming: 90%

Browsing the web: 10%

Home PC - 100% gaming

All my web browsing and email done on my iPad.

I have multiple laptops and desktops - one desktop is 100% gaming, the other is 90% video editing and 10% web surfing. The laptops are 60% web surfing, 20% photo editing, and 20% work.

We have 3 gaming rigs, 1 airpad, 3 laptops and fiber optic internet and my kids who live with us need the gaming rigs and laptops to do their cybersecurity and software development training. I no longer do any gaming due to having to care for my mother who is 99 yrs old and my wife who is undergoing chemotherapy.

Gaming 10%
Editing my Race/Ride helmet video footage 90%

I have really trailed off on my PC gaming...I have an OG Xbox one that I play sports and poker games on nightly pretty much.

My old weary bones are more suited to sitting comfortably on my couch and doing some light console gaming these days. It doesn't help that for work I'm sitting at a computer in the office for 8-10 hours a day...last thing I want to do when I get home is do more sitting at the computer.
When I was young...I could pull a 12hour shift at the computer at the office...then go home and game for another 6 or more.

Windoze PC; close to 0 %.

Mac Mini M1: 20 %

iPad: 80%

No gaming, mainly a bit of news, managing nas, Plex, Bluesound, book collection in Calibre, ripping CD’s and the occasional DVD. Very limited internet shopping. Oh, and browsing a few sites like this.

My Wife and I share 9 operational PCs. We have 2 Laptops that are only used when we're on trips away from home. 2 Cell Phones.

6 are HTPCs -- its how we watch television (one is gaming level -- but, rarely gamed). 1 Gaming PC in the Electronics Workshop -- it can do anything. 1 Wife's Office PC -- it can do anything.

1 My Office PC (shown below). I use it almost equally for Gaming Activities and Internet Activities (including Email). Gaming Activities are mostly playing the games -- but almost half of a game's time is spent modding the games that are modifiable (I mod stats, textures, 3D models -- as needed to make the game more interesting to me).

My Cell phone sees virtually no use -- but, at least, it's turned on -- only as of a few months ago. My wife's Cell gets some texts every day. We use a "land line" for virtually all voice phone calls -- more convenient for us than the Cells because a dozen land line handsets are close at hand all over the house and basement. We have a very good call blocker -- not one scam/unwanted call got through during the last year (used to be 10 to 30 a day).


Sapphire Pulse RX7900XTX, 3 monitors = 23P (1080p) + SAMSUNG 32" Odyssey Neo G7 1000R curve (4K/2160p) + 23P (1080p), AMD R9-7950X (ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II 420), 64GB RAM@6.0GHz, Gigabyte X670E AORUS MASTER MB, (4x M.2 SSD + 2xSSD + 2xHD) = ~52TB storage, EVGA 1600W PSU, Phanteks Enthoo Pro Full Tower, ASUS RT-AX89X 6000Mbps WiFi router, VKB Gladiator WW2 Stick, Pedals, G.Skill RGB KB, AORUS Thunder M7 Mouse, W11 Pro

Something I've found interesting about the responses in this thread is just how many SimHQ members don't game anymore but they continue to still actively post on the site. I guess the social interaction need goes a long way. smile

Heavy school this semester, heck this past year or two. So...

Desktop 30% web stuff, 70% school with this pretty complex Global ( rolleyes ) Business "Simulation". I was literally been spending over 40 hours per week on the sim (I became the team sim guy as both my team members have full time jobs) until I had a breakthrough a couple weeks ago, down to about 20 hours a week since then. We are right at number 5 out of 12 teams in the sim. We should be number one or two, but I can't break into the top four because they cheated at the start of the sim, and I can prove it.

That is for another post coming soon. immelman

My new Dell laptop is about 20% web and 80% school research and reading.

Yeah PM, I guess I am waiting for that carrier sim, may be my last sim purchase.

Spending as much time outside as I can when not doing schoolwork, not even painting hardly, which will change as school winds down.

I use my PCs for everything.
I did not replace my tv and haven't had cable for ages, I stream or run blu rays through my PC.

work 50 to 60%
news and entertainment 30%
Gaming 10%
gaming is limited because to actually enjoy it, I need to have all other work and concerns settled or I cant relax. Also, I've fallen for the cult of simulating that my games are not easy or simple. I cant have a beer and then drive Assetto Corsa for example.
