I honestly regret buying my gaming laptop. I barely use it since I don't have space in my room, so I need to attach it to the TV, every time I need to use, move my series X and unplug it... And I need a wired controller. Then, there's always a pesky update, drivers, stuff... When I'm playing on my X I don't have to worry about any of that, is more of a hassle to use (the laptop).

Ngl I basically bought it because I wanted to play Spiderman and other not available games on Xbox but even like that the regret is there.

Very happy with all my recent purchases.

But I did attempt to upgrade my phone a while back. But once I got it, it felt too big and was uncomfortable to hold and put in my pocket. Also the migration assistant didn't work and I had to setup everything manually. I stop halfway through and just kept using my old phone. Eventually my brother broke his phone so I just gave it to him.

Phone sizes are just goofy. It shouldn’t be straining against your pocket like it’s trying to escape when you’re sitting.

Big phones suck so much. I'm using a Samsung S10e, because that's the only model I have found that is small and actually pretty good, despite its age. What phone are you using?
