Do you use a desktop or mobile device more?

Question

I've been curious to see how folks are changing their behavior. I get a feeling that most people use Desktop/Laptops for work mostly and their mobile devices for more casual activities.The shift in behavior is interesting, but I believe we're spending a great deal of time on our mobile devices for multiple reasons. The devices are more powerful, screens are larger and the functionality provided by applications has improved greatly over the last 5-10 years.How would you break your time up on your laptop/desktop vs. Mobile?For me:Work: 95% Laptop/Desktop and 5% mobile Social/Casual: 90% Mobile and 10% laptop/desktop.I would also throw tablets under the mobile space.

I dislike touch interfaces and small screens. It's rare for me to choose a phone or tablet over a PC. I have a smartphone because I like to have the option to use it, but I almost never do for more than about 5 minutes at a time (voice and video calls are an exception).

9-to-5 laptop without question. My phone exists to manage Okta and unavoidable interruption signals. Desktop-signal works fine.
5pm-to-bed tablet. Its small enough to hold, fast enough to do what I want.
24h phone for signal because they haven't released adjunct-device for android tablet despite having done it for adjunct iPad.
