This is straight up lala-land. Phones do banking, browsing, document writing, printing, video editing. Many people don't even have a computer.

Windows 10 apps work like that.

Happens to some crappy laptops. These are basically irrelevant details.

Phones do browsing only until you switch to another app and it has to kill the tab to save memory.

And remember, they don't do Flash ;)

It's web pages that changed to fit on phones, more than the other way round.

Don't most modern (>2010) CPU's thermal throttle until they are back within operating temps? You'd have to stuff a laptop inside a backpack while maxing it to get it to overheat to the point of resetting
