    In case you didn't know, there's a widespread belief that big purchases must be made on a laptop. Examples of "laptop purchases" are plane tickets, hotel rooms, expensive electronics, or furniture. For clarity's sake, let's say a "laptop purchase" is anything over $300.

    Big purchases must happen on big laptop screen. What do you buy/do on a phone? #millennial #phone #laptop

    As this person said, "The millennial urge to make a big purchase on a laptop instead of a phone is very real."

    Well, I'm here to tell you that Gen Z apparently doesn't agree with the "laptop purchase" mentality.

    A tweet from Jessie Frazelle says, "Apparently, Gen Z is making fun of older generations for never buying big ticket purchases on their phone and always using a desktop."

    Twitter: @jessfraz

    The generational divide is real.

    Twitter: @kjameslubin

    "How are you gonna open multiple tabs and carefully cross-compare offers??" this frantic millennial asked.

    Twitter: @thepanta82

    Another millennial said they needed a "real keyboard for this serious business."

    Twitter: @JoshSchoen

    And this person straight up said the anti-laptop purchase mentality was "wrong," explaining, "Sometimes, websites are not properly designed to show all of the information you need to make a purchase on a phone."

    Twitter: @FilledWithMoney

    Other millennials seem to agree with Gen Z.

    Twitter: @texasrunnerDFW

    "I use my phone all the time to buy stuff," this person said.

    Twitter: @kakigaijin

    Soooo, I'm curious, where do you stand on "laptop purchases?" Yay or nay?
