Always had a cheap desktop computer and never thought a phone was worth it. Is there a reason people like me should reconsider?

It generally does everything your desktop computer does, but you can do it while you’re on the shitter.

I’m not even kidding.

This. It’s basically a pocket PC. It’s useful for all the reasons a computer is, but it’s more portable than a laptop.

I haven’t owned a desktop or laptop in years.

I always have my phone, it just does everything for me.
