  Have you shopped for those items recently? You have 200 buck computers and 2000 buck phones.

    Yep but also 200 buck phones.

      Yeah, definitely. My point is that phones are not inherently more affordable than computers, like it was 20 years ago.

    My current phone, a Pixel 7a, cost me around 350€ (let’s say it’s roughly the same in $). There is definitely cheaper options. And most of these options will give you a decent phone.

    A $200 computer will bring you to basic office stuff and playing facebook games.

      A 350€ computer will be capable of similar computing power as a 350€ phone, plus the form factorc comfort. I struggle to do basic office stuff on my high end phone, for instance.
