HP Pavilion 14-ec0013AU
(2022-present)
Bought on mid-2022 or so and currently used as a work/school computer.
Only designed to do basic processes like LibreOffice, but sometimes I have no choice but to edit with it.
Works pretty well for editing all things considered.
Initially was in Windows 11 but I downgraded it to Windows 10 as soon as I got it.
Net Cost: ~570 euros

First PC built
(2018-2023)
Built in 2018 and was the first PC I've ever had. I wanted to follow my sister, kay?
This PC... it carried me through middle school, highschool, and early university. Named it bTyana because I liked a girl named Taty that time.
I played many games, edited almost all my videos on it, among other things.
But this PC had so so so many issues. Weeks on end with blue screens everyday, faulty motherboard (twice), file corruption,
dust (tbf this is my fault), random shut downs, flickering monitors, etc. the list goes on. I don't even know how I managed
to use it for so long. I'm surprised the graphics card is still intact considering I took apart the PC like five times a year.
Net Cost: Probably over 1,000 euros in total, including upgrades and replacements

Insides of my old rig
MacBook Air 2015 13-inch
(2015-2022)
First laptop I used to do everything on. After I got a desktop in 2018, used it only as a work/school laptop.
Intermittent use between 2020 and 2022 because of the pandemic and I was at home all the time.
Ubuntu later added in 2020-ish but kept the old OS, allowing for dual-booting.
