Budget is nebulous! I have a fair amount of savings that I don't really use for anything, and laptop is enough of a keystone that I feel like it's worth putting real money in, but also I don't have enough to waste a lot, so budget is basically "I don't want to pay more than it's worth for capacities I won't use and something that will start breaking down in six months".

I do lots of fandom stuff and it is subject to change at zero notice! :D Mostly Minecraft at the moment though lbr
