Outside of my Switch and Kindle my phone is all I have. It's a $1300 super device and I find it does more than enough. A magic reactangle with the answers to all life's problems. The ultimate minimalist device.

Any of you mobile only? What has your experience been?

Mobile-only people are how social media exploded. Not everyone could afford, or needed, a computer. Their phone was a gateway to the internet.

I'm a power user, so I need to view a full screen and get desktop websites. I need the speed of a keyboard and mouse.

The disparity between desktop webpages and mobile apps/webpages is too big for my uses.

I need the multitasking and customizability of a computer.

I'm actually trying to go more desktop and less smart phone.
