But his laptop is about to die, so he might start to use my laptop when he needs a computer. He uses his iPad 95% of the time at home anyway.

We spend a lot of time on our devices, sharing would not work. We used to both have iPads and separate laptops. Then we bought a new Macbook Air to be "ours" since the iPads were our main devices. But I got laid off and needed to use a real computer all the time for sending out resumes, and DH loved the computer way more than his iPad. Around the same time our 1st gen iPads got real buggy (couldn't get any more software updates). So after I got a job we got another Air. cascademom on "Do you share a tablet or computer with your SO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-share-a-tablet-or-computer-with-your-so#post-1695640 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 13:04:20 +0000 cascademom 1695640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We have our own computers: his is a desktop and mine's a laptop. The iPad is shared between us. It was my push present. It has Netflix and other apps that are LO oriented. Sharing it has been good so far. If we do take it down South with us when we visit the inlaws, I'm logging out of some apps so my MIL can't read my stuff over iCloud again.

We'll borrow each other's devices sometimes but I hate sharing so most of the time we stick to our own.

Now I could use the computer in the living room while he can use the one in the office, which is nice. I also have a laptop I rarely use these days. We have a tablet but we only really use it on trips. I have my phone which I got specifically for it's larger screen so I could watch Netflix/Youtube and see all the nice pictures on Instagram better. The majority of my online time at home is spent on my phone. DH also has a phone but he doesn't use it for watching anything or surfing the internet really.

We tried once and I went crazy. We don't even mess with each other's phones for the most part. While we have the same phones, we have them setup differently.

He got me an ipad for school a couple years ago. It's "mine" in that the mail and facebook apps are my logins, but he uses it to check his mail and facebook in safari. doodlepoodle on "Do you share a tablet or computer with your SO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-share-a-tablet-or-computer-with-your-so#post-1695142 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 10:08:55 +0000 doodlepoodle 1695142@https://boards.hellobee.com/ DH has 'his' desktop, I have 'my' iPad, we have a shared laptop.

I didn't think it was weird until a friend recently pointed out it might be a teensy bit extravagant. In our defense, we use our iPads all the time and I sold my computer to get my iPad! snowjewelz on "Do you share a tablet or computer with your SO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-share-a-tablet-or-computer-with-your-so#post-1695134 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 10:03:13 +0000 snowjewelz 1695134@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Nope.. When we joined lives he brought his mac & I brought my macbook. We were sharing an iPad but then I got one from work.

He never uses his mac desktop. He's had it for like 10 years and I think he's going to get rid of it. He has a work iPad and I have a school iPad so we never share devices.

I have a laptop that basically just lives on the couch in the living room. He has 2 laptops for work and a tablet thing and I don't touch any of those, I mainly use my phone.

I use it a lot more than him though. We'll probably get another one eventually though, especially for the whole Korea excursion.

DH hates my Macbook Pro so he bought a cheap PC laptop.
