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).
