It’s not like I wasn’t flexible. In fact, the intention was to change fields completely. So that’s what I did. I applied to different positions in fields that made sense to me. It didn’t work out.

It honestly doesn’t matter at this point of how much more I apply. Being told to “be hopeful” and “the right opportunity will come by” is hard to swallow right now.

Performance is a very subjective aspect when it comes to laptops. YouTubers have this thing where they set the benchmarks to video editing, photo editing, music production, etc.

As a user, my needs are very simple when it comes to the practicality of a laptop. Make it wake up fast, give it a beast of a battery and a performance that’ll make me enjoy using it for a while.
