Computer > Phone

I didn't spend a lot of time to find out that I'm a deep computer-guy. Without being said that I'm a computer scientist at all, I'm just value the PC/computer/desktop more than all the fancy portable mobile devices like tablets and phones.

I remember back then when my brother and I was sharing a rented room in Singapore, we often spending out night leisure time on electronic devices. Me on the performance laptop which I just bought not long ago with the credit-card-based loan, my brother was happily dealing with his iPad. And it is his only bigger device other than a smartphone. How can one survive a life without a fully functioning computer? This is the unanswered question till today.

Why I put computer above all the mobile devices?

All in all, the most obvious argument that mobile devices still not capable of doing what a proper desktop OS could do. For example:

• Mobile devices cannot torrenting/seeding which was a huge part of my online activity a few years back. Maybe some geeks might argue this point and I believe through some hard work it is still possible to torrent on a tablet/phone but that's just too much of a hassle.
• Mobile devices smaller screen is making them not the best tool for long-hours work. I'm not a fan of switching different poses while typing a blog due to soreness.
• Desktop computer is the best productivity tool. Period. Bigger screen, tons of tools that specially designed to work better with desktop mode(like my recent favourite web application Webflow), tons of connectivity, tons of fun.

And the last point above could be the biggest reason why I rather spend my time and money on a fully capable machine than those fancy and expensive tablet/phone. Speaking of being frugal on phone investment, my current phone has been spending the longest time with me than any other pre-owned phone -- 2 years and still counting! I'm proud of myself, damn.
