the question and answer here is rather subjective. I am retired and older with chronic health conditions,,,, Plus when I was younger I worked as a software engineer,,,, so my computer is a source of news, communications and games,,,,

I have apps on my phone like Acorn tv, britbox, AMC, hulu, Netflix (rewatching Grace and Frankie right now). I have stacks of books I want to read, but always end up on my phone!
