Maybe yes, not that my phone's expensive (Android LG G8 that I got as a 'free' upgrade on my plan about 3 years ago), but my desktop PC was put together from parts discarded from other PCs. Only new parts were case, PSU, kb, mouse.

Where the story changes is that I only have one phone, but I have my main desktop, a mini tablet/pc, and laptop in addition to my work laptop.

An interesting observation was that if I forget my phone at home, I can carry on with a day out. OTOH, if I forget to bring my laptop somewhere I'm going and I don't know how long I'll be away from home (even if returning same day) I notice that I develop some anxiety after a number of hours unless I'm having too much fun to notice. I have a Surface Go just to carry around and mostly not use--another reason is sometimes a phone is just too annoying to do any browsing with all the mobile optimized sites.
