You can take it with you. Cell phones will not let you run CAT tools and they are not meant to type away on. To me, being able to work wherever you please (provided there is a connection available) beats everything else hands down.

...but as long as I can't install any CAT software on it, I'd say my most useful device is my PC.

Post title: Laptop

It's flexible and safe (it's own battery), however for everyday work I use external monitor, keyboard and mouse. Actually when it comes to monitor - I use both my laptop's and another one what gives me advantage of having two screens.

Smartphones are very useful but if I had to choose between computer and mobile the choice would be obvious, after all I am translator not a salesman.

Cheers
Stanislaw

I can say both PC and Laptop, because they both are useful for me in equal degree.

I think in this poll PC and Laptop should be merged under the name "computer"

I work with my laptop because I visit my grandparents every few weeks and therefore need to take the with me.
I don't talk much on the phone (mobile) with clients, Skype is much more useful for this and that's really all I got: a laptop and a mobile. Nothing funky or exceptional, but working nonetheless.

... because without my laptop I could do nothing. But my most useful gadget by a long shot is my phone, which allows me to receive e-mail. It means I can respond quickly to e-mails, not miss out on work while I'm out of the office. And it tells me when I need to come home because there's work in my inbox.

Basically, it gives me the freedom to leave the house. I don't know how I survived before I could answer e-mails while wheeling a trolley round the supermarket! ;-)

...I will certainly say that my PC is by far the most useful piece of equipment in my life.
