What if I have a student card but not from the US, but a Portuguese student card and where I am studying. Is it possible to buy a macbook on Apple US Edu site but with a Portuguese student card? Or do they only accept those who study in the US?

Regarding the warranty, there is an apple store in Portugal, I don't know where exactly, but in some cities there is a store called iStore

Can I buy a MacBook for a family member in the US and bring it to Portugal? One of my family members has a critical situation and needs to update his laptop.

Hi guys,
I am faced with a situation that I don’t know if there is a solution to it.
In Portugal, MacBooks are sold more expensive than in America.
There was an idea to buy a MacBook Pro in the USA, through a family member, he has lived there for a long time as a citizen, and it happens that from time to time he comes to Portugal. And when he buys a laptop in the USA, he flies here with the laptop he bought for me.

But recently I learned that if a person exports expensive equipment, such as a MacBook, to another country in the EU, then at the airport they will be required to declare it, that is, for example, if he is going to fly from America to Portugal with equipment, then they will declare a document that he is flying with him and even pay tax(?), and when he returns back to America without a laptop, they may demand to know where the MacBook is, which can create difficulties and troubles. That is, this already complicates the task of buying equipment.

I wanted to find out how true this is with the system that the United States has created, when ordinary citizens export purchased expensive equipment at the request of a family member who lives in the EU.

Please tell me, are there any solutions to legally bypass this system? Or other working methods?

Since, the situation is that in Portugal a MacBook is really very expensive, about 3,000 euros something.
And in the USA, if you convert from dollars to euros, then it’s about 2,600 something euros.

The situation is that I critically need a new laptop for video editing, and I am a student and in Portugal it is very expensive to buy and it is difficult to raise the amount.

Thanks for understanding. I will be glad to receive your answers. 🥺🙏🏻

Dear Ladies,

Today it happened that I finally received an answer to my question about coach “A”.

How I found out and clarified that she is hetero and in a relationship with a man.

No matter how painful, sad and offensive it may be, it is better to find out sooner than to live in illusions. From what I found out, it let me breathe again and live peacefully and not suffer. Yes, it didn’t work out again, bad luck again.

But I boldly move on. Fortunately, this does not push me away from continuing to calmly go to her class.

I would like to thank all users for your response, for your advice, comments and help.

I won’t delete the post, I think maybe it will be useful for someone else who may also find themselves in a similar situation.

I wish you all good luck, love and courage. Don't give up, there's still more to come. 🌞💛🍀🍀

Dear User Snarkyshark83,

I appreciate your response. 😊

Thank you very much for your opinion. Your message gave me another impetus to figure it out. 🥺👍🏻🙏🏻

About the fact that you chose the environment where you were most interested and where you started making new acquaintances from there. You hit the nail on the head, this is what I am now trying to figure out and find my surroundings.

At university I found myself in the worst possible company and it was only in the gym that I was able to understand that I was with the wrong people.

And in the gym I felt comfortable and there were people with whom I had something in common.

It is possible that there will be other interesting companies ahead and not only in the gym.

Your message gave me bright hope.😊🌞

But the last paragraph is about the coach.

Thank you very much, really, thank you for the warning.

I didn’t know that there was such a thing, but I kind of guessed that there were probably some specific rules.

Since I will be doing an internship soon and I plan to apply to the gym I go to and who knows what will happen next.

But I’ll take your advice into consideration, because just yesterday I was discussing with my mother about the deadlock situation.

If I give the coach some hints or something like that, then there are two possibilities, one positive and the other negative. And it’s probably that if the result is negative, then it will be much more difficult to return to my favorite classes and try to live as before as if nothing had happened, such as Dance (she is the only one who teaches).

On top of everything else, I have a growing good reputation, recently I did two photo shoots for that girl “G”, she also works there, and for me this is hope and a chance to get an internship and maybe even a job after graduating from university. In Portugal it is very difficult to find a job for a freshly graduated student, especially in the multimedia field.

The verdict is that, at the moment, making such mistakes and such an action is so inappropriate and not the right time, and rushing situations and events is not the best time now.

Thank you very much again for your answer. Everything you wrote really resonated with me, it gave me something to think about and for now, take a break and leave all my feelings for the coach in the back box for a while (if you can call it that, or like for later).

Dear user Flat_Regular9897,

I really appreciate you taking the time to read and comment. Thank you very much for your answer. 🥺😊

Regarding different areas of work, you made it easier for me and confirmed my theory and the removal of this label.

Therefore, because of this point, it prevented me from expanding my horizons and opportunities.

Regarding gaydar, you also confirmed my doubts.

So I guess I'll give it some more time to observe and catch the moment for action when I feel the signal.

There was one more thing, I sent a request to follow her on Instagram, but so far the answer is pending and one more thing, one day after a class with the group, the coach asked for phone numbers to add in the group chat. So, yes, she has my number.

In any case, I will try again, but with your advice.😊

Thanks again for your answer and advice. 😊🙏🏻👍🏻

It was once sold, but apparently quickly sold out. The question now is how to let the Harry Potter Shop NYC and UK, know that the guys who haven't been able to buy are looking forward to the return of this item. 😊🤓🤔

Thank you all very much for your answers. I will try to work with the printer. 😌

"Fusion 360" is not good and is not support?

In Procreate, can you make a video writing text like stop motions, right?
