@rakesh thx for answering. I checked out some college websites. One college said to avail their e learning service one has 2 buy laptop from them. But it aint compulsory. Only thing is that one cant carry their own laptop that isnt bought from college becoz and this is exactly what was written" it will have pirated software and college provided laptops will have legit software blah blah". As if all comps in that college's lab run legit windows lol. As far as e learning is concerned i have much better options at free of cost rather than paying them for maybe some bull$#!T e learning course. So desktop it is!
**** these "colleges". your PC should be yours.
decide what kind of stuff you wanna do, and plan accordingly.
dont just think that expensive = better. i fell in that trap 6 years ago, bought a hp laptop of 55k, which had a worse proccy than a similar, but cheaper 45k laptop.
if you can afford, i'd suggest buying a desktop PLUS a cheap/2nd hand laptop/tablet. my friend recently bought a used thinkpad (T series or something) for just 4k. and it got quite decent hardware.
as usual, RESEARCH before taking any step.
cheers!
