I’m a millennial but I didn’t own my own PC until I was like 21 (even then, half the parts in it were handmedowns from my Dad). I would have never been able to afford a laptop of the time. Computers are an expensive purchase all at once. Phones come with subsidized plans. That’s probably why you see a lot more bias towards them.
Pay no attention to desktop dying as people lose awareness of personal computing and lock themselves into closed ecosystems.
I was surprised how many co-workers my age and younger (GenZ) don’t even own a laptop let alone a desktop.
I know it was becoming more niche, but didn’t expect it to happen that fast…

I think this and a 300 dollar phone tends to work fine, a 300 dollar computer is absolute shit.
You, sir, need to see what an Optiplex 7040 can do.
