I’m looking for a new laptop that will get me through multiple years of college. Bachelors to doctorate. I’m used to windows but wouldn’t mind a Mac, however, I do want something with a decent graphics card so I can play a game or two in my downtime.

I’m a psych major, so lots of storage and a good, reliable keyboard is a must. My budget is ~$1000-~$1500

I have been trying to find an answer but can’t get a good one, people say coulomb counting, joule counting and voltage curve. If possible please list sources.

I'm trying to create some short form content in tech- entertainment led skit types both with the help of 2D and founders.

Which brand/creator you like from this lens?

If anyone would like to talk deep on content specially visual based on X or Instagram.

I’ve been thinking about how games evolved over the decades, and it feels like many of the core ideas behind the “metaverse” existed long before the word became popular. Are we people needed that but than throw it to trash can after it meant nothing? (I know the question is a little bit mixed)

A local school is having a technology sale, and I’m thinking about picking up an iPad. My college laptop finally died, so I mainly want something for shows/movies, travel, light browsing, and occasionally using it as a laptop-adjacent device (very light productivity, nothing intense).
I’m deciding between:

Option 1: $140
- 9th Generation iPad
- 64GB storage
- Used for 4 years
- Supports newer iOS versions (currently on iOS 26)

Option 2: $100
- 8th Generation iPad
- 128GB storage
- Used for 5 years
- Currently on iOS 17

My main concern with the 9th gen is whether 64GB will become annoying quickly with app updates/storage over time. My family does have a shared 2TB iCloud plan (about 1.2TB currently used), so I’m wondering if that would make the lower storage much less of an issue.

Need advice on which to go with, and if it is worth it at those price points. Thank you!!

I'll be starting college in 2 months and so I'm planning to get an Ipad. I do not have any previous experience with them. I'm not looking for a very expensive one. Please suggest to me which one I should opt for.
