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.

        It’s like my MIL, she bought a 150 euro android phone and always complained about it. At some point my wife got a new iPhone and gave her mom the old one. Now she is telling everyone how iphone is so much better than every android phone.

          My phones have all been around that price range (250-300 CAD) and none of them ever had problems besides the basic hardware wear and tear mentioned in the OP. I don’t play games on my phone, but besides that, I think my usage is pretty typical.

          Honest mistake. Never should have given her the iphone. Just get her a dumb phone if she is buying a 150€ smartphone

      My MacBook Pro 15“ from 2013 still runs perfectly and all parts work. Had to replace the battery at some point and the charger cable is falling apart.
