I need a better term for internet-enabled or web-enabled that a non-technical person would understand includes their smartphone, tablet, laptop, desktop, smartTV, etc.

1I would think that either of internet-enabled or web-enabled is fine if what you want to say is what they mean. – Dan D. Jul 20 '13 at 20:45

"Online"...? "Online devices"/"The thneed is online"... – Jørn E. Angeltveit Jul 21 '13 at 10:12

Perhaps "with internet access"? – Kristoffer Nolgren Jul 21 '13 at 12:32

@3nafish Is this neccesarily a bad thing? A rated list of easy-to-understand phrasings of the term internet-enabled is a useful artifact left for the internet and future visitors. The answer below, though good, is not more useful than a short version of the same answer in my opinion. – Kristoffer Nolgren Jul 22 '13 at 10:26

For one, I think @Dan D. is correct in saying that those terms by themselves should be pretty clear.
If you're looking for something that a very un-tech-savvy (surely that's a word) crowd could understand, I'd say swapping the word "enabled" with "connected" could work, even though it wouldn't be ideal.
Perhaps "always online"?
That'd be the only thing I can think of, short of changing it into a sentence like "devices that are connected to the internet" or @Kristoffer Nolgren's "with internet access".
