Which it should be noted, may not even have a laptop. Probably not a desktop even.


> Probably not a desktop even.

I'd be more surprised if they had a desktop than a laptop.


Gaming PCs are very often desktops, though I think those tend to be used more like consoles nowadays, not general purpose computers.


My anecdata is that the households I know that have desktops are gamers, yes, but:

- the desktops in question tend to be "exclusively" used by one member of the household

- the desktop owners usually also have a laptop

- the desktop-owning households are well in the minority of households I know


Old-ish data, but US Census states that 81% of American households have at least one laptop or desktop. Tablets at 61%.
