    Yes, but for some of us a laptop is too expensive for something that isn’t a necessity rush. Phones are also quite expensive, but are nearly required in today’s society.

      I think for probably close to a decade now, the phones I’ve bought have consistently been more expensive than the laptops I’ve bought… and I don’t buy expensive phones.

        I’ve never spent less than $500 on a laptop, and I’ve never spent more than $500 on a phone. I buy both refurbished.

          I’ve spent less on both, and more on laptops. I’ve bought at least 7 laptops over the past 20 years. Have never spent more than $300 on a phone though.

      Not sure why you’re being downvoted. This meme is correct but most activity happens on phones these days because most of the world can’t afford more than one device.

      It’s also why phones, including cheap ones are so oversized :(( If it’s your only device, you don’t want a small one
