What Do You Use To Blog?

This is a topic that hasn’t been brought up on Enkay Blog before but it is something that came to me when I noticed that I was running out of time during the span of one day. Nowadays my time is mostly devoured by school but I still want to blog and now that I have a little bit of free time, I wanted to quench my thirst for blogging.

Most bloggers have a specific way they blog, some use laptops, desktops and others like the traditional method of pen and paper. As for me, I’m not a laptop guy because I don’t see much use for it based on my lifestyle. I would like to have a laptop but even still the screen would have to be 12″ or less so that its ultraportable. Speaking of current situations, I do not use a laptop and don’t really own one. The two ways that I blog are:

1) My Desktop – My Desktop is a 4 year old Dell that is probably the best purchase I have made in my life. It is a 3.0Ghz HT Technology P4 with 1GB of RAM, 160GB Internal, 250GB External hard drive and Dual DVD+/-RW drives. Some might think that I have “upgraded” the machine but other than the external hard drive and the 22″ Samsung Monitor, pretty much everything else is stock. Some pretty decent specs and this machine is used for everything. I play games on it (occasionally), watch movies, do my blogging and ofcourse, all my studying on it. For me, The desktop is the best machine to get your tasks accomplished, although laptops today are also highly powerful and capable, I just can’t imagine walking around with one unless its really portable.

2) My NEC MobilePro 780 – Some of you may laugh when I say this but NEC made a device called the MobilePro back in the day and its quite small, has around a 8.1″ color screen and has an attached keyboard which is the biggest selling point for me. This device is slow to run most applications as it is Windows CE 2.11 however, it does a fantastic job in my eyes. It has all the word processing tools that I need including excel and powerpoint and even allows me to access the internet with the use of an external wifi card. The best part about the NEC is that its tiny. I was able to find an original brochure that you can see to get an idea what it looks like. The basic idea is that its highly portable and gets the job done.

What Do You Use To Blog?
I have to ask some of you about your preference when it comes to blogging. What device do you prefer and how many devices do you actually use. Ofcourse, some of you may have more than one desktop or laptop but its all about which ones you use to blog. It would be interesting to see if anyone has a device like the MobilePro. So lets see those responses!
