When I get my refund check, should I upgrade my laptop for better performance and versatility? Battery doesn’t last long on this one and I want to upgrade for school/gaming/writing/Adobe/etc. The one I’m looking at is ~$799

Yes if planning to use a lot
No, save the money
Depends on laptop specs
Oh look! A 4th option!

Current laptop: 8gb RAM, i5-10300, CPU 2.50GHz 4 core, 512gb SSD, GeForce 1650 no RTX “New” laptop: 16gb RAM, AMD 6 core Ryzen 7, CPU up to 4.7GHz, 512 SSD, GeForce RTX 4050 I use my current laptop almost daily but don’t game on it bc the battery life sucks and specs aren’t really good enough for the games I want to play.

Depends on the specs but upgrade ASAP. RAM prices are going crazy right now and the price of electronics will be insane. Laptops haven't caught up yet but they will very soon

Okay yeah, depending on what ram the 16gb is, if it’s ddr5 def worth, and what exactly cpu is it? Should be like ryzen 7 7(and whatever 3 digits go here)

Hey I found this, it’s exactly the same maybe not the same brand but it has all the same specs, but it’s $200 cheaper, take a look if you want:

imo you should decide between getting a pc and a nongaming high efficiency high battery laptop, you cant have the best of both worlds as gaming laptops will always have terrible batteries
