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.
A laptop you can take apart and put back together and it’ll be fine. You take apart a phone and put it back together and it’s like haunted now. You can’t get it wet anymore, and it rattles sometimes. It says it doesn’t like its new screen, so it’s not gonna let you unlock it with your face anymore. It doesn’t trust you since you took it apart. The buttons feel different now. They still work, but they feel… different.
You just don’t know how to do it right!
(I’m replying this before anyone else does.)
It was a joke, relax.
(This too.)
Most laptops these days are not that far away from the glued together phones. It used for be you could swap out a hard drive or RAM in a laptop no problem, I even had a macbook way back that you could do it with like one screw. These days I won’t touch other people’s laptops anymore (I’m lucky enough to have a framework where I can, and have, upgraded it).
