Is a Laptop Necessary?

[IDProG]

Assuming I don't need gaming and productivity on-the-go, and I use my smartphone to stream and browse the web, do I really need a laptop? (I know the question sounded crazy, but I wonder if there are other benefits of having a laptop other than those)

If you are a student you need one.
Word document and programming will require a laptop.
Doing basic stuff such as web browsing and streaming media can be done easily on a smartphone.
In general you need a PC/laptop for work and a smartphone/tablet for media consumption.

I'm a student but I never do programming and office works at school. I do them at home with PC. Is a laptop still necessary?

Then a smartphone is sufficient for your needs.

You do not need to purchase a laptop if your smartphone is sufficient for your needs.
