  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.
