That's crazy. The only things I like my laptop for are when I need to do enough typing to require keyboard, or I'm doing something that a split screen is good for. I'm in my mid 30s,and I feel this isn't unusual among my friends

Then I’m positively prehistoric. I’d rather book flights with a travel agent.

Look, zoomers are watching porn in their phones. I think our millenial quirky traits are just plain better.
I know better than to use a phone with any card input. Phones are the tool of the NSA. They might watch what I watched once but I'll pirate that shit on my comp ty.
I don't think it's age. I think it doesn't matter how old you are. There are plenty of suckers on all generations.
The smaller the screen those more likely all the information formatted to fit on the webpage or app is not fitting, and is either above or below what information you are viewing. On a larger screen there is more opportunity to see the nuances of the page design, and to double check those things that might seem off about a transaction. Unless it's an emergency purchase, Imma use my 55 inch LED TV monitor to make large dollar purchases, and at worst my 19 inch laptop. Order Doordash, a quick reorder from Amazon, my Android is gonna do just fine. We start talkin over $100 in a non emergency situation gimme the big screen, or imma wait. Simple as.
When I had to book flights, car rentals, and hotels at my last job, I did anything I could to just do it straight through the Delta or Hilton apps. Trying to use Concur was a nightmare. I could be done in a couple minutes and it isn't like I don't already have the corporate codes added to the respective apps. Saves the same amount of money and cuts out the shitty "travel agency". As a millennial, the more I can do on my phone in the least amount of time the better. There are always exceptions, but booking travel is something I would rather do on my phone.

The amount of bribe money that must be going to various leadership teams at large corporations to get them to pick Concur must be insane. It's such a terrible system, no one would willingly select it.

Laptop? No way. Desktop for big spends, with a minimum of two monitors 🙂

Me, I'm like, well, I could buy the train tickets on the app. But that'd require opening the bank app simultaneously to authorise the payment, and it's a bit fiddly (it didn't work reliably on my shitty phone a decade ago, it does work these days). Soooo I'll buy the tickets on laptop and run the bank app on the phone.
