My first purchase of buying something useful was five years ago when I had finished my school. I was 18 years old and the thing that I bought was a laptop that was needed for my university assignments. I bought it in my hometown, that is called Yakuz, at the local electronic market, that is called DNS. I bought it because a lot of presentations, assignments, courses are made online, so I really needed a laptop or a tablet to do such things. It was really useful for me because it helped me to decrease the level of stress that other students had because they didn’t buy themselves a laptop or a tablet. and I get all my assignments, presentations at my new device and I continue to use it at my work right now after finishing my bachelor’s degree and it is really good to have a laptop because it can provide you a lot of necessary things such as having photos, there are videos, doing your assignments or even you can walk there if you have a distance job so it is really good for every aspect of your life.
