After seeing them together in an “interview” and with Raja repeatedly saying “adutha padathukku romba excited” I feel like they will def make a movie together. in fact rishikanth and mani are also close friends so it makes sense. what do you guys think
I’m from Canada and I’m going to university this fall for my first year of a Bachelor of Science. I’m hoping to go into medicine in the future.
I’ve always wanted a MacBook. Like, genuinely, I’ve wanted one since I was younger, but I never actually got one. Now that I have a part-time job and some money of my own, I’m debating whether I should finally get one.
Around 2020–2021, my parents bought me a brand-new Dell Inspiron for around $1,200–$1,600 (I don’t remember the exact price/specs). It’s now around 5–6 years old, but honestly, it still runs really well. It’s not slow at all, and for what I do, performance has never really been an issue.
The biggest problem is the display. It broke a couple of years ago, and since then I’ve basically been using the laptop like a desktop computer: plugged into an external monitor and kept in one spot. Recently, it also stopped turning on, so I’ve sent it to a repair shop to get diagnosed/repaired. The diagnostic itself is $89, and there may be additional repair costs.
Now I’m debating whether I should spend $1,649 CAD on a MacBook.
The deal I’m looking at is pretty good:
My main uses would be pretty basic:
The biggest reason I want the MacBook is honestly portability. I’m going into university, and my current laptop basically has to stay plugged into a monitor because of the display issue.
But at the same time, I’m wondering if I’m just looking for an excuse to finally buy the MacBook I’ve always wanted.
If my current Dell gets repaired for a reasonable price and continues working perfectly, should I just suck it up and keep using it at home, save the $1,649, and use what I already have?
Or is having a portable laptop for university actually worth spending that much money on?
I’d especially love to hear from people who were in a similar situation, especially Canadians/university students who switched from Windows to Mac.
What would you do in my situation?
Edit: The display for my current laptop works, its in the repair shop, cause its having trouble starting up. I'll ask the repair shop guy if I can carry it places but I'm scared it might break again.
