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.

my original school laptop, a shitty ThinkPad 11e, had lasted me 8 years without any issues, and I stopped using it only because I got a better laptop for free, the 11e still has probably another 8 years left if I take care of it, since it's battery life is virtually the same as I first got it and no matter the amount of drops that thing takes, it will never break.

I put Linux distros on it from 2021 to 2024, sure it stuttered because I liked GNOME and I didn't adjust anything, but it was still amazing. Now that I think of it, I should definitely get windows off my newer machines, probably flash fedora or something.
