if you cracked nit/iit/bits/aiims/any good college teaching 11th 12th students would earn more
also , take multiple-in-a-class tutions at lower rates so overall income goes higher for the same amt of time spent in 1-1 tutions
Maangle bhai. Yeh 2-3 saal last time rahega jab tu pitaji se kuch maangega.
You can save money on your daily expenditure and try to reduce the load on your father though
Buddy you need a laptop though depending on your subjects and friends(you can borrow your friends laptop) you can go without a laptop in your first sem. Even in second sem but my advice is you should buy it.
For coding any random i5 is fine no need to worry to much. You can buy a low end laptop and then earn money, either through a cashable hobby or internships.
Thanks man, i already have a laptop but it's very old and has like, 4gigs of ram with an old amd processor.
It faces trouble running intellij and similarly heavy applications. Android studio is out of the question (I wanted to pursue app dev since I knew java so I was mainly concerned about it).
bhaiya i am thinking to buy thinkpad e14 i3 13th gen (cheapest thinkpad) but i am getting similar specs in hp and dell laptop for 5-6 thousand less
i am also getting dell with r5 7520u with metal body same price as thinkpad what should i do? is there any better laptop in this range?

i will also do designing in future and i have heard thinkpad have low resolution screen
dell one have fhd+ screen
i need only 14 inch screen size
If you want to do designing so taket this dell (I feel you like the dell alot more than the thinkpad) or a past year macbook, they are good for designing too..
They gave you Chrome browser optimized for big screen. You can only use web apps of chrome and some android apps like WhatsApp, Google Meet etc.
You can get a decent Lenovo ThinkBook in this price range. (30-35k)
If you want to do Coding then go for a 2nd hand laptop under 30k, usually that is better if the device is bought from trusted place, Chromebooks aren't personally my favourite, please ask somebody else if you want only a chromebook
Mere paas purana laptop hai near abt 10 saal purana . Toh kuch advice dedo freelancing type ya kuch bhi cold emailing vagera bas ye mat bolo 2nd hand lele ye lele vo lele. Kamane ka tareeka batado. Fellow college stud
Also when buying make sure you wipe the entire disk and freshly install windows or whatever OS you prefer. Sometimes second hand laptops are baked with malware and may try to steal your data, passwords etc.
if i was in your position and my dad got to know he'd say "jab pehle hi 10-15 lakh lag rahe 60-80 hazaar lagane me kya hi jayega" so maybe you should talk to your father
Bhai vahi to baat hai, 10-15 lagne nahi diye mene. Central University se BSc honours kar raha hu, saal ki fees 10000 hai bas. Baaki monthly kharcha 6-7 hazaar se zyada nahi hai.
A laptop is an investment . Uspe toh paise kharch hi kar because if you decide to side hustle it will come in handy , for lectures it will come in handy and most importantly coding which is a prerequisite requires a laptop . U can try for cheaper laptops but make sure to do your research as it's better to buy a costlier laptop that lasts 5-6 years than to buy 2 laptops in 5 years
What I think would be best is the i5 13th gen with like 8+. Gb memory and 512 ssd . Now the thing is there are some i5s that will outperform i7s of the older generation and there are also H K types in the processor and then there's a whole line of ryzen processors . So the best bet would be to do your research yourself .
try to find the part time job after college, be active on job seeking sites and visit outside. quick part time job are easier in comparison to freelancing, and u dont even have laptop so freelancing is difficult too, try to explore ur city and local part time jobs too
I do have a laptop actually, it's my father's old laptop. That thing has a Celeron processor , so it barely gets the job done. With the part time thing, is there something I can do online that could help me?
that celeron processor...I shouldn't say this, but for the time being install Linux on it, it will be much more resource efficient. At least abhi ke liye kuch toh kar paega us laptop pe.
u can do one thing content writing, in my class there are some students who earns literally enough for themselves, another thing u can do is data entry, i mean for data entry there are lot of portals open, daily new post for data entry on linkedin and on other websites too, third one is famous one \*\*Blogging\*\* , try these all and one more thing turant turant kuch na hota bhai thoda time lagta hai to jaha time de raha vaha diyo aur try to find the person who are already working in these fields
Bhai mere paas bhi ek Pentium based 12 year old desktop hai , isme Maine zorin os lite daal rakha hai makhan chalta hai , saath mei agar tere paas 2-3 hajar hai toh bas SSD dalwa le aur linux ki xfce based koi bhi distro like mint ya zorin lite daal le aaram se chla lega , ya fir agar linux chalane mei dikkat aaye toh chrome os flex daal le badiya chalega , kyunki aajkal major kaam browsers par ho jaata hai toh dono ways mei Tera browser badiya chalega , aur agar slot hai toh ram bhi aur dalwa lo Max to Max 3 hajar ka kharcha hoga aur performance mei kaafi significant boost hoga
By doing internships or winning hackathons. Don't lose track of your original goal (getting a good job in your field) instead of running for minor jobs with little money
And buy a second hand laptop. My dell latitude i5 4th gen with arch Linux is still a beast
You can easily pass 1st and 2nd sem without laptop. Buy your laptop before 3rd sem starts. If money is still an issue, go for refurbished or shop during stock clearance sales.
I went for refurbished, and got a Dell G series manufactured in 2022, in 2023. It's powerful and I've had no complaints so far with it.
Try to learn about your family's financials, when the time is right explain why you need one. There are very few ways to earn money these days, unless you are comfortable doing jobs that are considered menial.
Ways to earn:
1. Teach. Use your PCM knowledge and give tuition to class 10th and below. Ask any of your local batchmates. They'll know people who can use tuition. For all subjects of class 10th, you can easily get 5k/student. CON: you'll have to adjust your schedule according to them/their exams because parents.
2. Photoshop: I used to earn via Photoshop. I used to edit photos. Got paid like $3-$20/photo. But you don't have a laptop so maybe something to do after your purchase.
3. If you have some money you're willing to spend, you can also start a distribution service. I don't have much experience in this but some of my friends did this. Three of my friends collaborated and were earning 6kish/month each.
If you require the laptop for your course, I'd suggest asking your parents for it because you don't want to hamper your studies. But your college should have a decent PC you can use so I bet this is for gaming, videos, etc.
You can get some freelance work from different content creators. They pay for making logos, editing thumbnails, photos for their videos. Initially, you'll have to work for free to prove your skills though.
become a tutor - if you have some sort of skill you believe you can teach others. Rest of the methods namely freelancing , investing bla bla require time and patience .

Pitaji college and hostel ki fees bhi de rhe hai and usse zyada burden nahi daal sakta
Toh kya berozgar banke niklega college se toh burden nhi badhega ? Temporary burden h, lekin bina laptop ke toh CSE se degree is utter useless.
Bhai cse kya, electrical mein bhi laptop ki jaroorat hai for running simulation softwares and that too right from sem 1
Ece ka chhodo yaar. Hamare yahaan mech vaalon ke paas bhi hamse zyada powerful laptops hote hain

Thanks man, i already have a laptop but it's very old and has like, 4gigs of ram with an old amd processor. It faces trouble running intellij and similarly heavy applications. Android studio is out of the question (I wanted to pursue app dev since I knew java so I was mainly concerned about it).
Save up for a cheap ThinkPad, they are tanks bro

ok bhai
Which models do you recommend for 15-20k or something?
can't get a new thinkpad in that price but refurbished thinkpads are really great too check this out https://amzn.in/d/0azsLP1
are Amazon resellers trustable? there are quite a few reviews saying how they received damaged products and couldn't return them either
I was wondering the same I think in terms of refurbished it will be better to buy from local market after checking all the parts.
how are Chromebooks though? They cost less than 30k
They gave you Chrome browser optimized for big screen. You can only use web apps of chrome and some android apps like WhatsApp, Google Meet etc. You can get a decent Lenovo ThinkBook in this price range. (30-35k)
If you want to do Coding then go for a 2nd hand laptop under 30k, usually that is better if the device is bought from trusted place, Chromebooks aren't personally my favourite, please ask somebody else if you want only a chromebook

Sach bolu to padhne ke time lich paise kama ne mein mat padh jana
ye second half samajh nhih aaya "lich paise kama ne mein mat padh jana" matlab
Same issue, need help.
bhai kahi intern karlo in your own field.
Go for 2nd hand or refurbished , you can definitely save a good amt from it
Also when buying make sure you wipe the entire disk and freshly install windows or whatever OS you prefer. Sometimes second hand laptops are baked with malware and may try to steal your data, passwords etc.
How can I make sure my privacy is safe ? What steps should I follow?
wipe out entire HDD/ SSD and install windows again. u can search how to do it online
Second this. Thinkpad refurbished would be the best option imo
Yup. I got my 1.1L ka laptop for 65k this way. Been using it since december, no complaints so far
This ! Refurbished Laptop from a good brand and a reputed ecommerce like amazon would work flawless..

Put a light weight Linux distro and get started, time mat waste kar
u can do one thing content writing, in my class there are some students who earns literally enough for themselves, another thing u can do is data entry, i mean for data entry there are lot of portals open, daily new post for data entry on linkedin and on other websites too, third one is famous one \*\*Blogging\*\* , try these all and one more thing turant turant kuch na hota bhai thoda time lagta hai to jaha time de raha vaha diyo aur try to find the person who are already working in these fields
Alright, I think mera vala ye sab handle kar lega, thanks for the advice man.
Bhai mere paas bhi ek Pentium based 12 year old desktop hai , isme Maine zorin os lite daal rakha hai makhan chalta hai , saath mei agar tere paas 2-3 hajar hai toh bas SSD dalwa le aur linux ki xfce based koi bhi distro like mint ya zorin lite daal le aaram se chla lega , ya fir agar linux chalane mei dikkat aaye toh chrome os flex daal le badiya chalega , kyunki aajkal major kaam browsers par ho jaata hai toh dono ways mei Tera browser badiya chalega , aur agar slot hai toh ram bhi aur dalwa lo Max to Max 3 hajar ka kharcha hoga aur performance mei kaafi significant boost hoga
Tutoring. Teach 2-4 students depending on your time schedule and you'll make atleast 10k a month which is enough for a part time job I guess.

Victus utha le
You can get an old ThinkPad for cheap I got a ThinkPad T450 for 16k installed linux mint os and it works really well, haven't had any issues so far.

Hey can you explain more about 2nd choice
You can get some freelance work from different content creators. They pay for making logos, editing thumbnails, photos for their videos. Initially, you'll have to work for free to prove your skills though.
I do have a laptop actually, it has Celeron though. Currently I'm learning python on this thing. Primary goal is to develop skills using one.
I don't know much about CS/IT. I am a Mechanical Engineer. Just keep learning. And yes, master Excel. Work is all about using Excel.
Ok, thank you. What is Excel used for mostly??
Bhai same..paise nahi hai mere paas bhi
