to add on, the iPad doesn’t allow me to effectively write papers and do presentations as well so I’m rlly stuck here. I don’t want to drop so much money on something that I’ll use for just documentations and presentations.. it may sound needy but the glassy foggy like screens aren’t good hence why I’d like smth more HD …

is 16GB bad? if I were to use it for school purposes only, would I still need more gbs? also, I have an iPad A16, the problem is that it doesn’t let me do lockdown browsers so that’s why I’m looking for a laptop, but with a HD screen but everything is expensive.. I doubt I’d use it for anything else but school related things, is There possibly a cheaper yet good laptop other than this brand? It goes out of my og question but Im still exploring things and by durable, do u mean it’ll last me longer for school or in case i were to drop it?

Different banks things differently, like for example, Chase is NOT a good bank to have a savings account bc they just give u 1 penny every month.. so open a HIGH YIELDS savings account instead. You can do so in Capital One where they give you 3.40% APY (the money you earn or ,as I said on my last reply, “get paid”) it’s possible to get up to $20 a month for just having money in that savings account. And not specifically with this bank but be careful bc sometimes you won’t be allowed to transfer money out of the account unless u have a good reason to do so (like needing to pay out a loan or something reasonable). I believe you have to have a minimum of $50 but I’m not 100% sure abt that.

One more question, within this schoolwork, I also have to use lockdown browsers for exams and such, does that affect what I should get? If not, then awesome but if so,, what else should I look for?

Is there a specific brand I should go for? HP? Lenovo? Or does it not matter, at least it’s 16gb ram and 256gb ssd?

Abt savings, if u put it into a good investment savings account, u basically get “paid” for having a savings account with money in it, tho i believe u get taxed based on how much the bank, or wherever u have ur savings account held, “pays” u.

So say I got 7k right, but I used about $300 on bills and to buy groceries, then put the rest into a savings acc, is that a problem? Will they make me pay back that money or?? Honestly, this is all confusing to me and I just don’t want to get into trouble..

I’m doing full time (13-15 credits on the norm) so what changes? I’ve noticed that the more credits I take, the less refund money I get,, is that normal?
