PC Mar 28

I only use my PC to respond to translation inquiries. I use my smartphone just to check my email but I will respond when I’m back at home.

Mostly PC Mar 28

I receive most of my business emails during my working hours anyway, so I'm at my PC, have my email client opened and can use an actual keyboard.
If I receive an email outside of my working hours or when I am out during those hours for any reason, I will sometimes use my smartphone to reply if I missed out on anything important otherwise.

Mostly computer Mar 28

I do use my phone to check e-mails when I am not at my desk during standard business hours and send a quick reply to my regular clients, but usually it can wait until I am back. If I am on vacation I just set an out-of-office message and do not check anything.

Desktop Mar 28

A Lenovo All-in-one desktop computer. Its screen is wider than any cellphone, the keyboard is more comfortable too. I see, read and process more information per minute compared to the cellphone.

Desktop Mar 28

I prefer doing everything work-related on my desktop. Only when something is urgent, and I have no access to my desktop (or any desktop/laptop) do I use my phone. But I can count on one hand how many times that has happened in 10+ years in the industry.
