How many computers (laptops + desktops) do you have at home?
We have a lot... probably a lot more than most people (I am going to guess we might have the most?)! We just added a Mac Mini to the lineup which makes 7 at home (and that doesn't include any tablets!). 
Our office gets really toasty from all the heat.

I voted 2 bc we have 2 that we currently use--my laptop and dh's work comp ( he works from home so it's his company's). His personal laptop is basically dead and we haven't replaced it bc it seems unnecessary, so I didn't count it

I voted 6 but I should have voted 7, I forgot about one of the desktops. Three desktops, two HP laptops, and two MacBooks.

4 in use. I have a old PC in the garage that will be going to e-cycle.
ETA: oops, I have DH's old iMac that is in a box under his desk. Hoping to sell that and my current Mac mini to get my own iMac.
So now 4 in use (2 imacs and 2 macbooks) and 2 in storage (pc and imac). Then there's the kindle, ipad and iphones we have.

We have two personal computers (I have a macbook pro and my DH uses my old macbook) + my husband's work laptop that he brings home with him daily. So...2-3

We're both in the tech industry so we have a lot of machinery. Between the two of us we have 5 laptops and 3 desktops. And that doesn't include our 2 work laptops that come home occasionally or our 4 tablets....Writing this out makes me feel like a crazy person

We also have a lot.
My desktop
DH has 4 laptops; an old one we take on business trips, a net book he uses for his car, a newish laptop, and a brand new one he got for his bday last year.
He also has a desktop
We have my old PC hooked up to our tv downstairs
And we have an iPad and an android (I think?) tablet.
It's ridiculous. There's no need for so much junk.

5 that are in use, we have 4 or so towers in the basement that need to be recycled because we don't use them.
2 personal laptops
2 work laptops
1 desktop
But I end up using my tablet the most(with the exception of my work laptop)

Why do you guys have so many computers? Home businesses? Old ones you didn't get rid of when you upgraded?
We have 1 and it barely works

3, my work computer, my Mac and DH's computer. He's probably going to get rid of his computer soon though.

Currently, we have 3 (My old laptop I hardly use, our custom gaming PC, and a custom media PC attached to our TV). We plan on making another media PC before baby arrives.

If we're counting dead computers, my number is waaaay off! We probably have 5 or 6 dead ones hanging around that we don't know what to do with.
We have one desktop (that lives hooked up to our TV), and DH brings his work laptop home every night and weekend.

Whyy do yall have so many computers?!
DH has a laptop. I have a tablet so I guess we only have one!

3 plus I've got 2 work laptops and 1 iPad (DH has a nook tablet but he just reads on it, not much else).
To explain why we have 3 plus work computers:
1) my old Macbook from college, still works but its old. Probably saving for DD to be able to use as a work computer (just to type papers, etc) when she's older
2) MacMini (desktop) - replacement for my college computer when I graduated.
3) Windows Laptops (samsung brand I think) - DH needed a PC for school so he got this really cheap from best buy. I am particular about my files and he's not really computer savvy so its just better that he has his own.
4,5) Work MacBook and Work Windows Laptop - I bring the Mac home nightly (easier to VPN from if needed) but the Windows will probably live at home during maternity leave
6) iPad - Bought as a combo work device for me plus a toy for DD.
7) Nook Tablet - Bought because DH reads a TON of books.

So of the 7 we have (that we own -- DH also has a work laptop he brings home daily), 5 are desktops. Crazy eh!?
1. My desktop
2. DH's desktop
3. Old desktop that we use as a DVR using Windows Media Center
4. Server (basically used as a file server)
5. Mac Mini that we bought to do some iOS App Development
6. My MacBook Air that I use for surfing the net
7. DH's old laptop that is still running but he doesn't use it much
We use #1, 2, 3 daily! We also have 3 tablets
@JennyPenny: Yep I feel like a crazy person too but I know that this is pretty typical for most of my friends who are also all in the tech industry

There are technically 2 laptops in the house but we don't use the one because the screen crapped out.

We have 2 desktops (one's our server) and 2 laptops. Not bad for living with a computer architect. We also have an iPad which was my push present since my laptop was too big during feedings.

Yeesh! We just have a MacBook. We each had a laptop, and when the last of the two died, we replaced with this computer.
