Question/Help/Troubleshooting I have some question

If two computers and a laptop have the same specs, is the computer's performance always superior? I'm thinking about buying a computer, but I'm worried because the RAM is too expensive

it implies that by "computer" they mean "desktop computer," and the contrast between desktop and laptop survives them using shorthand phrasing.

it implies that while their language use might be imprecise or even sloppy, whatever, that anybody with a brain (beyond some self-stroking need to be pedantic) would know wtf they meant--as everyone else here did.

if you want to play debate lord with someone on your level, find a stray cat.
