Yes I am a gamer, no I don’t want to use the Laptop for gaming.
The Laptop in question is the ‘Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 Gen 7’, I can’t out right purchase it outright as any device is way to pricy for me. So it would be an monthly payment through 2 years.
Why do I want the Laptop?
I’ve been pushing myself to edit videos and have got to the stage that I have registered a company that I’ll be doing this under. Sure my PC would do the ok job, it runs the programs I need such as Premiere Pro but I feel a more portable set up might be needed in the future for as my partner wants to go away to so many places in the future, the ability to move rooms in the house when I feel I no longer can work in the room such as my office to the sitting room as well as if it comes to it I can use the laptop for more ‘high-end’ gaming on the go in my spare time.
Why this Laptop?
Well I saw it on my phone providers website as I was checking when my current laptop is due to finish it’s cycle (The laptop I have currently only have 4GB of ram and can barely open the internet) also it cost like ~£40 a month.
How much would I be paying?
The cost on the website is £42 a month with £10 upfront cost.
This does come with a ‘bonus’ of 2 year subscriptions of Microsoft Office 365 and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.
@BudgetBandit Yeah, I wish I could save up the money for it but at the moment I need stuff like my editing to get off the ground in any form of way and can’t wait 2 years to save the money for it. I know it’s not really a smart move when it comes compared to outright purchasing and heck tomorrow I might be able to phone the company that’s doing the deal and see if they can strike up another deal without the Gamepass and Office as I really don’t need them for my day to day use, sure office is helpful and maybe I’d use Game Pass in my downtime to mess around with games but not massively interested especially if I already purchase games on Steam and there’s free alternative software to office including Google’s ones (That I actually prefer).
All I know is this seems to be a beacon towards something that I not only could possibly afford (Only by monthly payments) but also could be a way out of having to do things like monthly payments as well as worrying about money in the future. I know it’s a big what if but it’s probably the best thing I have atm with my partner up my ass about getting on with my career and stuff.
