So im about to get a new laptop, its no the best but it will be diffrent, currently i have a desktop so a laptop i will be able to move around with.

Its a windows laptop with 12gb of ram, 250 storage, so im hoping its good becasue i got this laptop on the cheaper end becasue its refurbished acording to amazon.

anyways what are some of the first things to do with a laptop besides setting it up and what are some cool uses, i have some ideas on how i might use the laptop but i want to hear what yall have to say.

This might be more of a setup thing, but one of the first websites you visit should be ninite.com in order to download browsers, media players, cloud storage, .zip file decompressors, etc, all in one go.

Install Scoop scoop.sh. It's a bit like Winget but imo better.
