I really would love to know, I know my grandfather only watches YouTube and follows politics lol and a lot of people have different uses for their computer, so what do you use your computer for?

I use my computer for gaming, I love to play games like GTA V, Call of Duty and stuff like that. I also use it for software, like my graphic design programs and of course Song Vegas + After Effects for video production. I also do some streaming like Twitch.tv, and watch YouTube What do you use your computer for?

I ask this because a lot of people get a computer that does way more then they need which cost a lot more money. But if their not going to use it like that, why get it?

Hi Nextant thanks for your question. Yes, I know people are using computer several reasons. Some of use very professionally and other may use as entertainment. Or some may use for both work and entertainment too. I was use computer only for entertainment, when I was student of undergraduate. But nowadays, I cannot manage any times for playing game on computer. Now I only used computer for my professional purpose. My all freelancing work done by my laptop. Even I do not get time much for listening song too much. So, I do not play game on computer and my laptop has many outsource resource and some very importance software’s.

I use it for pretty much everything, work being the most important of them all. But yeah, work, videos, movies, games, the whole package.

I primarily use my computers, yes multiple computers, for primarily business purposes. I do play 2 online MMORPGs but they are text based and really don't require much specs like quad core, or 8gb of ram, and so forth. On occasion I would research different types of computers to see if it would increase my work performance but I just tend to stick with what I have.

I use to play Facebook games in the past but haven't really played anything, and that is what I use to spend my time on. Now, I have this thing where if I am online and not making money than I am wasting my time. This had led me to experience many things, and gain the knowledge that I needed for specific things, and now I don't have time to "play" on the internet like so many people think I do.

The programs I use most are:

Skype for communicating with fellow moderators, or some clients
Mozilla Firefox Browser for mostly anything internet/website based
Wamp or Xamp for PHP programming

I can not await the day that I can actually use the internet to have fun, and play games. Now my sense of fun is making money.. lol

A while back I had a few computers I worked with each day and each of them had different jobs.

Computer 1: I would use this computer as my personal play computer where I would do anything I wanted. YouTube was a big thing on this computer because I would always end up watching reviews of games or other random crap lol. I also used this computer to check my personal email and do anything on facebook or other social platforms. Normally when I was on this computer I was done working and just wasting time lol.

Computer 2: This computer was mainly my work computer. I would do a ton of stuff on this computer since I was on it the majority of the day. I would log in at the beginning of the day to check emails from anyone who sent something to me through any of my websites. Sometimes I had to sift through a ton of crap because I would get email bombed, ugh. It was rare, but it did happen lol. This computer was normally a bit pricey because I wanted it to push out some awesome performance with the increased ram, superb graphics card, i5 or i7 processor, and some other upgraded hardware within it.

Computer 3: This was my desktop and all it really did was run software for me. I would log into it and set up a campaign on software like scrapebox, xrumer, GSA and SeNuke and let them run non-stop. Having a dedicated computer for my software was pretty awesome because it didn't lag me down when I was doing something on my work laptop or personal laptop.

Having the 3 computers for different tasks was super awesome and convenient. But it was expensive to get it all 3 and set them up, more of buying them than setting them up lol. Right now I only have my desktop and my work laptop. My personal laptop decided to fry it's hard drive, so that's fun. I now use my work laptop for everything since my desktop just collects dust. It's a good thing my work laptop can do a ton of stuff because it's super nice What do you use your computer for?

I use my computer mostly for work, then of course for shopping too... I love shopping online. I do a lot of learning and training. I love Youtube videos that show me how to do things, especially when it comes to working online. Sometimes I can be a little slow to understand something so seeing it done with the instructions works really well for me.

I do all my banking online of course.

I have recently started video streaming which is quite cool. I also catch up with my friends and family on social media.

I don't game though, I never have and I don't think I ever will, well not until my kids have left the house that's for sure. They keep me way too busy!

I use my computer for both work and leisure. I find that most of my time is used to complete work assignments and check emails.At home, I spend several hours to play some games on Steam besides watching anime and television drama. My personal desktop was built to be a gaming machine since I bought it to play certain games on a nightly basis with my friends.

Let's talk about our home desktop because my laptop is my official computer for my office work. The primary use of our desktop is for internet particularly social media and forums. For offline, writing is the main use although sometimes we make videos and music as well. Video editing takes time especially when the video is quite long as more than 5 minutes. We seldom use our computer for enterainment like playing music or playing games. And not to forget, our computer is also a depository of our digital pictures and videos from the camera.

I work on a computer remotely, so it is especially important for me that all software is up-to-date. By the way, Windows drivers can be downloaded from various third-party sites, but I prefer this one https://softwaretested.com/drivers...soft-ac-adapter/. At least there are no problems with viruses, as well as broken drivers.
