thank you to everybody who commented and gave some useful input! it definitely helped me a lot!

there you go.

thank you! your reply sent me down another rabbit hole and gave me something to think about.

hmmm. So you’d recommend just working with windows 11 then? cuz basically battery life is what’s most important to me. can’t afford new stuff, especially not a MacBook.

very much appreciated!

thanks! looking into it right now.

i live in Germany and sometimes give my credit card to my gf for grocery shopping. never had any problems with it. you’ll probably be fine.
