What is the one device you couldn't live without?

Does anybody else find it funny how people say "laptop", "desktop" or "phone" unless it's an Apple product in which case they want people to know they have one so it's "MacBook", "iMac" or "iPhone".

Anyway, laptop

No it's fair bragging rights. I paid 3X for this thing I'm going to call it something special.

Or it could be the successful marketing of a good oligopoly, establishing a unique brand, etc. I don't say to my friends, "look how well this operating system is running," I say, "look how well windows 7 runs".

No because in that case you are describing something more specific, a piece of software explaining to them how good it is so they would need to know the name. In this case it's just a generic device and I always think it comes across as quite arrogant when everyone else says "laptop" and then someone comes along and says "MacBook" because in reality all it is is a laptop.

To be fair some people do it to all their devices, I call my phone my G1, my laptop my MacBook, my old laptop was My Dell, etc.

My Advent PC with Windows 7, Quad Core processor, 2GB RAM and a graphics card. Because it's so damn good it's better than calling it a PC

Loll tbh I hadn't noticed that before Although I am guilty of it cos I say my Blackberry rather than my phone but I have 2 phones so I guess I have an excuse

Don't own a phone, don't own a Mac, so my Sony VAIO.

Yeh I think it's anything thats really expensive. Perhaps "Premium products" I should call them. I'm not a Windows fanboy by the way, I am writing this on my Macbook

Well it isn't that expensive tbh... was £20 off ebay I suppose it happens with any expensive thing in life though, not just gadgets. Same with cars, if you have a ferrari you're not going to say you're going to work in your car, you'd say your ferrari.
