So im about to get a new laptop, its no the best but it will be diffrent, currently i have a desktop so a laptop i will be able to move around with.
Its a windows laptop with 12gb of ram, 250 storage, so im hoping its good becasue i got this laptop on the cheaper end becasue its refurbished acording to amazon.
anyways what are some of the first things to do with a laptop besides setting it up and what are some cool uses, i have some ideas on how i might use the laptop but i want to hear what yall have to say.
Install software relevant software to your hobbies
I’d recommend finding out what kind of video card it has though as that’s a big deciding factor in what you can use it for.
my only hobbys are watching youtube and playing games, im totaly struggling to find a new hobby becasue im hard on myself and depressed.
Digital art is pretty fun if you’re at all artistic, even technical drawing using AutoCAD or a similar software can be fun to learn and will give you a new skill. Try to use something you already like as a jump off point (ie draw a scale model of a weapon from a game).
I recommend the Blender donut tutorial video. It’s free on YouTube and Blender is free. Free is awesome and it’s educational and pretty fun.
I’m sorry you’ve been feeling depressed. I know how that can make it difficult to start getting into other things. I have a couple suggestions. One is to just let yourself get bored enough to wander around the internet and find cool things. If you find something you want to try like an art tutorial, don’t pressure yourself or anything, just give it a go! I made a lot of art in high school using stuff like photoshop or free programs and it eventually got me into graphic design. I sometimes wish I still had the time to mess around with stuff like that! And another one, if you’re into tech and want to try new hobbies, you might be able to volunteer at the local makerspace which would give you a membership there. I used to not have a lot of hobbies, but I got into 3d printing. It’s so fun to make stuff without needing talent. If you can’t afford a hobby like that, a makerspace would let you try out stuff like that and meet other people with creative hobbies like coding, 3d printing, and making robots. :)
