    I have four laptops and two desktops… More or less.

    One laptop is an antique, I might break it out to play music while I cook, but it’s kind of useless for anything else at this point. One is a tablet, complete with a digital pen. I only bust it out to sign digital documents. My main personal laptop is an 11th gen framework. The last laptop in my collection is my work laptop. Technically not mine, but I’ll throw it in anyways.

    My work laptop 99% of the time is sitting on my desk, connected to a dock which is plugged into a KVM switch.

    My main desktop is also plugged into the same KVM.

    My laptop rarely moves. I like that about it.

    My framework is almost never on any kind of dock, or connected to any external display. I mainly use it on my lap around the house

    The other desktop is plugged into my TV to play video games.

    I mean, I have other computers, but those are the main ones.

      I mean I don’t want to talk negative about your hobbies, but you have a pc hoarding issue.

      I have one for myself, but not that bad yet.

        Back in the early 1990s, I would go to Goodwill and pick up whatever ancient computers and related machines that people had discarded there. I amassed quite a collection. But at some point, when you’re hauling a useless VT240 terminal home and you realize it’s just going to sit in the garage, you conclude that you’re really not doing a smart thing.

        I would say the person above should keep the ones they’re talking about and get rid of the “other computers” unless there’s a good reason to keep them.

            I have to imagine there’s an option that weighs less than a large concrete block.
