I went back to using a laptop after two years of phone browsing.

I browse primarily on Console, and used Vita up until late last year when I was away from home.

Now I use iPhone when I am out, since the Vita web browser is completely broken.

I only browse on the PC in the rare occasion that I can’t get something working on the PS4 or Xbox.

To be clear, I have keyboards for my consoles, which makes the browsing experience great. If I didn’t have a keyboard on the consoles, it would not be a great experience.

You reminded me of 2011-12I used to browse with old laptops hooked up behind my TV connected with HDMI, that was the best I ever had wlth a wireless K&M on a 50 inch. I think I may use my FF14 keyboard with the built in trackpad and try the PSN browser and see if you are correct. 

My biggest thing with using the consoles is the convenience. I am already watching or playing something on PlayStation or Xbox the major majority of the time I am in front of a screen at home. It takes nothing to hit the home button, jump to the browser, and get on VGChartz or search something on Bing or Google.

PC and it’s many browser options obviously have a massive upper hand in flexibility, but for almost everything I commonly browse PS4 and XBO do just fine.

XBO browser is more capable than the PS4 browser, but the PS4 browser is much simpler to navigate. 

It is definitely not for everyone, but it works great for me. I think next gen consoles will be even better for browsing and searching the web. I look forward to it being even more seamless to go from web, to game, to video.
