before we start, I'm Ivan, and i live in Indonesia.
I'm a freshman, and my college requires me to buy a laptop (im on multimedia course, it's like half-art-half-computer class)
i have a laptop, but it's a damn pentium, i can't do productivity with a pentium + integrated graphic + 100GB HDD and a non-activated OS
as later on i will require it for heavy productivity such as rendering, computer graphic, photo editing and stuff, I asked my parents for a new powerful laptop (Mac is pretty overpriced here so i asked for a gaming laptop instead, which somehow had good specs but still much cheaper than a mac) [no i won't game on it, at least not too much [probably when I'm outside waiting for my next class], my PC will do a much better job on it so this laptop's main purpose is overall for doing college stuff and bragging rights
]
I do have a PC, but it's only a 2nd gen I5 which i know will not be too good for the college, and even if i upgrade it, i can't bring it around. (also refer to the problem below)
here's where the problem starts:
Next year, my parents might send me to America to study there instead of staying here, and they said that if it's really happening, they want me to buy laptop and build a new PC there instead of buying laptop + upgrading my PC now and then bringing it to America later on.
Now I'm really curious on the reason why I should do that? I mean, even if I'm moving next year, I still need a laptop now. I get it if it's about my PC, since the extra luggage would be really expensive, so im fine if they won't let me upgrade it, but why postponing the laptop too?
