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.

That’s fair. A little bit of a deeper understanding can indeed go a long way in terms of knowing how to take care of something properly, not to mention saving on minor repairs!

  • And for something like computers, it can dramatically reduce the effectiveness of scams. If the support person asks you to do something fishy, you'll immediately recognize it's a scam if you k ow a few things about how computers work (or hopefully you'll never get in that situation).
