Sometimes the webpage just works better on a PC. I don’t fly often. I’m not going to download an app and setup an account for a one time use. I’d rather just use my laptop and schedule what I need to there.

The cost doesn't matter

The complexity does

I do most things from my laptop because it's superior to a phone/tablet OS/UI

No, I use my phone for most purchases online, regardless of cost.

Yes, I made a custom Titleist wedge on my phone but didn't purchase it. I got on my computer and was able to find a little bit of a better deal through Dick's with a promo code with the same customization.

If I'm purchasing something, I use a laptop/desktop because I believe it's easier to find the best price and compare all my open tabs. This is especially true for planning vacations.

I use whichever is handy at the moment. Keep the receipts both in the cloud and at least on pc hard drive if not printed and filed (over $1k get both cloud and print out). The printing receipts is easier now with WiFi printer that works with phones and pc’s both.

I even stick a copy of warranty or service agreement in the original box too so I can find it easy when needed. Keep original boxes due to moving as stuff travels better than stuffed in a generic box.

You can buy a Tesla from the phone. That's a pretty big purchase.
