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.
If you’re playing with computer vision, you’re going way further than the typical computer user. My parents, for example, just need an office suite, a browser, and a file browser. My brother also needs a few games to work, but otherwise is the same. My SO also needs streaming stuff to work.
All of that can be handled without touching the terminal or leaving the built-in app store. Even a gamedev setup could largely be done that way as well (Godot, blender, and a 2D graphics editor). Quite a lot of people could switch today and not need any hands-holding.
Yeah, some things require more extensive knowledge, but the common things are simple enough.
