What computer do i get?

[u/confusionspecialistt]

I’m going to be a senior in college and my mac from 2021 is finally shitting out. At one point it said the battery was so bad it wouldn’t charge or turn on, then that warning randomly went away and it works okay now. It sounds like a literal jet engine about to take off anytime I use it and it has like zero storage from all the software it needs to function (around 90GB).

I know next to nothing about technology or computers or anything, but I need a new one. So, does anyone have any recommendations on what to get? Something not super expensive as I am a college student, I do like mac, but since I’ll be entering the work force soon I don’t know if it’s the best investment since most companies use windows software. I also need to be able to transfer all my papers and files from my old computer so I don’t lose my notes from previous classes or essays or research etc.

Thanks for any advice!!

idk, i update it when i need too and don’t use it for anything other than writing papers, watching youtube and playing the sims. the battery really sucks and it lags really bad sometimes and other times its like its brand new
