Hello all. Online student here. My primary laptop was supposed to be so revolutionary but it can’t even hold a charge. Needs to be plugged in at all times to work otherwise battery only lasts about an hour and that’s not enough time to do my assignments and such. Last week, the charger decided to stop working and thus the laptop is rendered useless until I secure a replacement. Working on that as it requires an older very specific model and funds are low. Was graciously gifted a Chromebook by a fellow user here which was to serve this very purpose but unfortunately it’s the HP Pavilion model that is no longer supported and its Chrome can’t cooperate with the Cookies requirement of my school’s site so that’s not an option. Spent time troubleshooting with school’s tech support team and arrived at my phone being the best option. If you’re familiar with my other posts you know I don’t have a capable one of those either but I tried. Managed to get word for mobile on there and it’s as inconvenient as you might imagine.
Nevertheless, it’s all I have so I did my best but that backfired too as I couldn’t save and convert to pdf like Professor insisted. Have an exam coming up on the 11th and taking it on my phone will be nothing short of a nightmare. It’s an open book style where we can refer back to course material which I managed to do on my laptop from previous tests when I had it working but don’t imagine that’s going to be an option this time around. Won’t be able to get the laptop charger I need in time and the way things are going I am truly getting my butt kicked right now no matter what I try so I’m just going to do my best with what I have but if anyone can help out with a device of some sort that evidently isn’t outdated I’d be forever grateful. Cheers.
