Voted both PC and phone, because while the lions share of interaction is via PC, the phone gets a decent amount of time in. >95% of contributions are from a PC (phone text input SSSUUUUXXXXX), though an appreciable amount of TPU browsing, guessing 25(+/-10)%, happens on mobile.
 
PC almost exclusively because the screen and keyboard are bigger, which is what I'm comfortable with.
Tablet or phone sometimes in the morning with a cup of tea, if I remember.
 
Desktop PC because I'm a Terminator with Pikachu powers and can bring it with myself anywhere and power it up right away.

Jokes aside, I extremely rarely go online outside because my feeling of where I should go is sound, I need no navigation and texting whilst walking my normal pace (4 to 5 mph) is too dangerous even for me. Oftentimes, when I go outside and end up stationary, I am tied to a job I was hired for so no online going option, as well. So my 95% online status is desktop PCs because only at home I do have enough spare time for that. Despite walking up to 18 miles a day.
 
PC most of the time, although I do access on occasion through mobile (lazy in bed) and my laptop while I'm out of the house
 
My main screen is 50 inch so i have to dim my screen to view it.

Otherwise:

Multiple selection, but all options say "most"? :)

I know that doesn't seem like it makes sense, but the idea of a second selection came to me after I'd typed them out. By the time I realized my mistake, the voting had already started and thus changes were locked out. Sorry..:(
 
Most of the internet I do on my phone is for work. I don't feel right being on a forum and not being at my battle-station. I much prefer comfy chair, big screen, and glass of iced tea.
 
almost exclusively on my gaming rig, and the odd check in or browse on my phone.

Hell some weeks I'm at this site more than I am gaming.
 
Desktop PC 99% of the time. Only when I'm lying on bed or not at home, I'll browse the interwebz on my phone.
 
Why does the total add up to 117%?

99% of the time, I prefer to use my desktop for pretty much everything. As lex and Bill have said, nothing beats the comfort of an actual mouse and keyboard and nice big screen when browsing the net, but I'd also like to add in the fact that I don't get bombarded with a crapton of sneaky ads on my PC compared to trying to browse with my tablet or phone. Makes me want to pull my hair out (if anyone can recommend to me an android-based ad blocker for my phone and tablet, I'd be very grateful!)

Just use opera browser. Personally i browse the internet using my phone. I even listen to youtube more often on my phone due internal opera ad blocker...it just block all the ads, on pc there is a delay...

its a multiple choice "survey" (edit: you can cross/check more than one answer)

100% use my desktop PC only to view TPU.
I rarely use my phone for online unless It is necessary and only for banking or maps.
 
I didn't realize it was a multiple-choice poll. I figured 'most' meant one selection. I chose only 1.
 
I check out TPU almost exclusively on my phone. If I try to do any web browsing on my rig, getting sidetracked is a foregone conclusion. I should split up my office, one upstairs, one down. That way stuff won't be sitting on my workbench calling out to me. "Im still here"! "Come touch me immediately"!

I check tpu on my phone in the morning because I don't want to get out of bed lol, it is very well designed on phone
 
I only browse this site on desktop. I have no desire to use social media when away from the home/office.
 
Desktop or Laptop. I've never owned a smartphone.. but it's getting harder by the day to function w/o one.
