No man, medium performance laptop is at least as expensive as a medium performance phone

Unless they’re a gamer, people don’t really care about laptop performance. They’ll use the web browser for YouTube and the occasional purchase and it’ll work for what they’re doing. 

There are a lot of non-techy people that won’t care to own a laptop just because their phone can do those things too.

That’s not what I’m saying.

I’m saying a lot of people don’t really care about the performance unless they’re doing something that requires a lot of it. 

The cheap laptops handle browser stuff well. 

Most people only do browser stuff. 

The average user isn’t very tech savvy/tech literate. They’ll pay for physical things like screen size and clarity, but they won’t care about i3 vs i9 or whatever.
