Hey everyone! I'm planning to study online for the next three years, and I'm trying to decide between getting a PC or a laptop. Honestly, I'm not super tech-savvy, so I'm looking for some advice. My current budget is around €450, but I'm worried that might not be enough for something durable and effective. I think a laptop might be more practical because I can use it anywhere, but I'd love to hear what you all think. Any tips would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, and have a great day! ❤️

A laptop is definitely the way to go! It's lightweight, super portable, and you can use it pretty much anywhere. Battery life is a plus for studying on the move.
If you’re tight on cash, it might be hard to find something durable. Generally, PCs are cheaper, but you also need to consider the monitor and other accessories. If you're just studying and not gaming, a laptop is better due to its portability. If you think you might need upgrades in the future, though, a PC could be more sensible, but with a budget this low, it might not be easy to find something reliable.
Honestly, if you find a good laptop, stick with that. It’ll serve you well for a few years, and upgrading components later becomes tricky with most laptops. You're right to prioritize practical use now—maybe settle on a solid Lenovo for your budget?
I did a quick search for study laptops and found a decent one on Amazon for about €320-€400. Just wondering if that's good enough, though. My last laptop was only €200 and it was terrible.
Absolutely! I had a laptop about eight years ago for around €200, and it was painfully slow—always overheating too.
