    Yes, but for some of us a laptop is too expensive for something that isn’t a necessity rush. Phones are also quite expensive, but are nearly required in today’s society.

      I think for probably close to a decade now, the phones I’ve bought have consistently been more expensive than the laptops I’ve bought… and I don’t buy expensive phones.

        I’ve never spent less than $500 on a laptop, and I’ve never spent more than $500 on a phone. I buy both refurbished.

          I’ve spent less on both, and more on laptops. I’ve bought at least 7 laptops over the past 20 years. Have never spent more than $300 on a phone though.
