I bought a laptop in 1999, and it was quite liberating, because I could make a lot of my own decisions.

The reason I'm an I.B.M.-type guy today is that I really needed a laptop back in 1986, and I just couldn't wait for the Powerbook.

Two to three years down the road, other companies not on a model like Dell's will be in trouble.

I have used Lenovo since I wrote my first novel. My old laptop broke, so I bought a new one, but still a Lenovo. It is one of my most essential devices.

I write with a pen and paper. Never on a laptop.

I loathe computers more and more, so I have one I can shut down and shelve like a book.

I haven't fully moved over to the iPad. At any given time, I have about four DVDs in my pocket. I'm constantly screening 'Top Chef,' 'Housewives,' and all the other shows we have in development, racing to meet a deadline. So I pretty much bring my laptop everywhere.

I borrowed a creaky laptop from my husband, went into the web, and never came back.

I remember having computers at my parents' house growing up. We had different desktop PCs, but my first laptop was an IBM ThinkPad laptop. It was big, bulky, slow and terrible.
