We have in the past but I prefer having our own ipad and laptops. DH hates my Macbook Pro so he bought a cheap PC laptop.

We have 1 desktop that we share. We use our phones more than the computer so we have no issues sharing.

We share the desktop but have our own laptops. The only issue we run into is photo related. I need to edit photos, and he needs to scan film negatives.

We share everything. We have an I pad, Mac pro, and Lenovo Yoga and we just trade off who is using what.

We have our own laptops but we technically share the ipad. I use it a lot more than him though. We'll probably get another one eventually though, especially for the whole Korea excursion.

1 desktop that is exclusively hooked up to our TV, so we *have* to use it together.
1 iPad that is 'mine', but he uses when he wants
DH has a work laptop that he brings home every night that he uses on occasion as we watch TV, but I sometimes borrow over the weekend

Now we both share his iPad. We used to each have our own device, but I killed my Macbook I do have my own phone, though!

Eh, kind of. 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.

No... but if he needs to do something on the computer he either does it at work, on his iPad or uses my computer. 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.

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.

No, we each have an iPad. 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!

DH has 'his' desktop, I have 'my' iPad, we have a shared laptop. We share the desktop & iPad when the other wants though

we both have old laptops we hate because they're so slow.
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.

We can't share. 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.

We have our own laptops but we share a tablet. We mainly use the tablet for travel though.

We share a desktop but have our own laptops and iPads. Well, his laptop is from work so we do not own it.

We shared a desktop up until last weekend, when we built 2 new media PCs (we used to have both our TVs and the computer monitor hooked up to the same computer, now each TV has a computer). 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 each have a laptop (although technically mine is his back up/old one from work so if he has an issue he kind of takes priority) but we share a tablet.

He has an iPad, I have an iPhone and laptop. We'll borrow each other's devices sometimes but I hate sharing so most of the time we stick to our own.

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.

@BakerBee: I don't see how that's extravagant. 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.

Not currently. 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.
