Laptop getting outdated and beginning to malfunction and no money for new laptop..
fuck all freelancing now...

Yeah... Outdated system is a real pain

As freelancer you need to have even more money saved than you have to as a regular person. I always make sure I can buy three good laptops and Im not even a freelance

@Codex404 true but he's from Kathmandu. The average YEARLY income in nepal is $700. So to acquire a decent laptop even with double that income is a hustle.

@heyheni wait wat? $.7k YEARLY??? :o

@netikras no you've read correctly. It is seven hundred us dollars income a year for the average nepali. Sure in Kathmandu you earn more.

Edit: This year it has risen to $1035/y

@heyheni what does a laptop cost over there?

@Codex404 I dont know i'm swiss, but i guess a laptop costs about the same everywhere in the world?
You get a usuable new one starting from $400. Or an used old one for $100. A decent one starts at $700 and good ones starts at $1200.

So if you want to help BlackOrange donate him a used laptop?

@heyheni haha, i doubt it. A friend from libya bought a brand new laptop for 400 euros where the exact same laptop was 1200 in the netherlands...

Go custom.

I am looking for used laptops at the moment but its too hard to find here for my specs.. :(

@BlackOrange what do you need?

@heyheni if you have a used laptop i am willing to buy it
i5(5th) or more
8gb ram
graphics dedicated 2 gb
1 TB HDD

@BlackOrange what's your maximum budget?

how about this one for $290 (npr 33000)
Laptop HP Envy DV6, Intel i7 quadcore, 8GB, NVidia GT 630M 2GB, https://anibis.ch/de/...

Edit: oh for $290 you would better get a new one from AliExpress.
