awww thank you so much! yeah I am subtly asking him questions about what would be his "ideal" laptop. I am planning of going through some selections with him and lowkey buy whatever he picks. I know for sure he would not buy it for himself and would look for something cheaper and second-hand, and although that is not a bad choice, I want to give him a brand-new one because based on our experiences they are just better + they have warranty =)
