Single women rival single men as tech device owners, according to a Forrester Research survey released Thursday.
Obviously, to an organization filled with female tech geeks, the study was met with bemusement.
But the survey of more than 1,000 single adult males and more than 1,000 single adult females in the United States and Canada had some interesting gems.
Did you know that single women prefer laptops while single men prefer desktops? Among the adult singles surveyed, 47 percent of women said their next computer would be a laptop, and 29 percent said it would be a desktop, while 47 percent of men said their next computer would be a desktop and 38 percent said it would be a laptop.
Forty-four percent of all single women surveyed own a game console, compared to 53 percent of single men, confirming reports from International Game Developers Association and Entertainment Software Association illustrating that women do play video games.
When it comes to handheld-game devices, 27 percent of single women surveyed count themselves as owners while 29 percent of single men said they have one, according to the study. Single women, meanwhile, surpassed single men slightly on digital-camera ownership, 78 percent to 76 percent.
Alas, less than 20 percent of single women said they followed technology news, compared to less than 40 percent of single men.
