Laptops, desktops still dominate among all media devices

Don’t count the traditional personal computer — such as the Mac — out yet. According to new data from the comScore research group, among all media devices in U.S. connected homes, laptop and desktop computers had the highest penetration at 90%, followed closely by mobile phones at 88%. 

Media devices capable of delivering over-the-top media content, including streaming boxes & sticks such as the Apple TV(36%), gaming consoles (31%) and smart TVs (28%), also now feature prominently in the connected home. There are more screens and other connected devices in homes than ever before, says Dan Hess, executive vice president of products at comScore.
