To new laptop or not to new laptop? 🤔
All signs point to not. Like I shouldn't even be asking. I don't need one.
Please tell me I don't need one.

You need and deserve it
Lol JK you probably don't
Can you write it off as a business expense lowering your earned income for the year
Well actually yeah I can.
Sell the old one and buy corn
If you can write down as expense, get a new one and use the old one to run nostr:npub1aghreq2dpz3h3799hrawev5gf5zc2kt4ch9ykhp9utt0jd3gdu2qtlmhct or nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll with a Bitcoin node or other stuff.
Don’t let them rob you of your future riches, once you buy it.. it’s a used laptop anyways and no backsies
What is your old laptop not doing that you need it to do?
This true. Add SSD, RAM etc to extend the life
Mostly just doing more recording work with it and the application I'm developing for work needs more processing power to run well when I'm working out of the house.
It fails the "if it's not a hell yes, it's a hell no" heuristic by a hair.
Hmmmm...
Can you upgrade the CPU? Which socket does the MB have?
The laptop I have doesn't have an upgradeable CPU or RAM, according to the manufacturer 😐
In light of this new info (I hate when manufacturers do that 😤), then I would say a new one might be warranted. Take your time and make a list of needs and wants then see if something second hand would meet them.
Buy the dip. Get a new laptop later for sure.
You do not need one.
I need a new laptop because I think my NIC is finally dead. Wi-Fi card is fine, but my ethernet plug no longer works.
Unless there's something physically broken, you probably don't need a new laptop.
Get one.
