Laptops are always so much more Fucked than phones in my experience. A laptop is like a beautiful horse that wants nothing more than to break all of its legs. A decently solid android phone will act normal.
A laptop is a living creature. It has weight to it. A laptop breathes and produces body heat. And it wants to die badly. Mobile phones are not sentient like that & that’s why they don’t experience mental illness. A phone problem is like “out of storage :(” or “charging port broke”. Laptops will cough weakly as they fade in and out of consciousness.
You will hold a laptop in your arms and it’s like “I can’t feel my legs”. And you tell it girl you never had any.
I have laptops from the the last two decades that still work. My X201 has been used and abused in every which way, it has problems that I gave it (BIOS), but for the most part it’s completely fine, my T440p is fine but the screen was cracked, again, by my dumbass leaving it on the floor and stepping on it, and I also replaced the keyboard with one off another model that didn’t quite fit. Still, besides all that it worked like a champ, can even put a quad core in it.
While I’m overall not impressed with my new laptop - the X1c because it’s performance is dog shit and I’ve not figured how to control the fans manually yet (thinkfan doesn’t seem to work), it’s far from the worst - my MSI GT60 2PE was such a piece of shit and definitely fits this post, so does anything labeled “Netbook” and/or anything that has an Intel Atom CPU which is truly cursed
Phones on the other hand? Imagine you want to take a screenshot of a video on a phone for future reference, but android says:
So you have to use the volume down+power like in the good old days
