(electronic) devices
"Electronic devices" are machines that use batteries such as laptop computers, phones, tablets, portable video games, and so on.
You can also use the word "device" by itself to talk about any machine:
I saw this device on TV that chops tomatoes perfectly in just a few seconds.
But more and more, "device" by itself specifically means a mobile phone or tablet computer:
I heard that they're releasing a new device at the end of this month.
This phrase appears in these lessons:
- “We ask that all electronic devices be turned off and stowed at this time.”
- “Creating multiple layouts for each different device would be quite time intensive.”
- “Not to mention, there are always new devices coming out.”
- “For those who don’t know, the issue is that each device has a different aspect ratio and resolution.”
- “Well, can’t we just create a different layout for every device? That would be the best from a design perspective.”
- “Why don’t we take a survey of our customers and find out which device has the biggest market share?”
