Yup, we do need our hardware. I am considering a reliable phone myself. I use a PC mostly, laptop occasionally, smartphone only for about 5 minutes a day when it comes to internet use.
I learned to trust second-hand equipment for working needs and it's fine when you know the source of it is decent. Reliable sources are a must. Luckily, we have some, since it's good business for them, leaving happy clients behind. That would vary depending on where in the world a person is.
Adventures make heroes and great stories. The best way to gain experience points and level up.
