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.

    In my experience it’s the opposite. It starts behaving unreasonably slow way before it physically breaks, unless I do something very stupid, and there is no way to free it from creeping bloat or even diagnose what’s actually wrong. Old laptop will behave like new again when I get it clean and install fresh OS on it. With phone there is nothing can be done, I have like 5 perfectly working old phones that just became too slow at performing the same tasks
