True. I like the analogy. The sad thing is that this is purely a software limitation. The hardware would be capable of so much more, it is more powerful than desktop computers of just a couple of years ago.

for the way I use computers these days, it could very easily replace my laptop with a proper monitor and docking solution (but not my tower server/gaming machine)

yeah mine was a way to build anxiety via doom scrolling and downloading time wasting games. When I'm on a laptop/desktop, I'm usually actually working or killing time, but since I don't have one with me at all times, it's much easier to limit time wastage.
