~~U~~ I end up using my phone more than my pc now a days and I don't own a tablet or laptop. Why would I want either of those things?

Having a physical keyboard might let you spell the word "I" correctly, for one.

I'm a big purchase desktop kinda person, but there are always Bluetooth physical keyboards you can use with your phone. There are even nifty folding ones that can fit in your pocket.

Ya, but if I'm gonna do that, then I may as well just buy a mechanical Bluetooth one and sling it around with me all day. I only keep 4 things in my pockets my keys, my wallet, my phone, and my pepperspray or gun, depending on how I'm feeling that day(I don't just have it loose i use a pocket holster).

To each their own, as long as you know you've got options.

Yes, because only people on phones or other devices without a physical keyboard make typos. And you have definitely never ever made a mistake in your life. Right?

It was just an offhand joke that I couldn't resist, no offense intended. I guess quick access to emoji to convey tone is one point for phones!

If you don't want a laptop that's fine, more power to you. That said, you can at least acknowledge that many people would be able to perform some tasks much faster and more reliably with a laptop.
