My one and only "work" laptop since 2011, retired after long years of service. 

It started with dead batteries 5 years ago, then keyboard gave up 2 years after. It then slowly deteriorates and became lagging when opening multiple operations. Then it was already dead 2 days past. 

My brother,  knowledgeable on  computers (he is a computer programmer), inspects the device. He determined a malfunctioning cooler fan, motherboard damage, and some internal component wear among its previous problems. Good thing is that the hard drive was salvage and working. 

Still, without a computer I cannot  color my sketch works. It worries me now. I need to have a working  laptop, brand new or second hand, that is capable in operating Photoshop and Manga Tool. Or else things will be pretty ugly.

It took me and my brother almost a day to look for alternative laptop that can perform editting and 2D coloring functions.

My initial plan is to find a cheap laptop. My brother however, explained to me that looking for such would land me to units way past the line of usage. It would be wastage than being a solution if I bought some like a 2014 model, as this will expire sooner based on the laptop's life expectancy. 

So, we shift to another alternative - buy a up-to-date unit and avail the monthly installation process. It took us time to find such, as most computer stores only offer one shot deal payments, or in credit card installments (I do have two credit cards, but they are not the ones most stores here are seeking for a credit card mode of installment).

Finally we do find a worthy unit. It is an up-to-date ACER brand with Ryzen processor and features that are very much Photoshop friendly. On top of that, it is a home credit, which I can pay without a problem.

Now the 12-month payment is fine to me and I can reasonably pay it, no issue with it. The problem however is the installment, which is 30% of the price of the laptop. It is about 250$ in US currency, and I cannot afford that amount for the moment. I am now looking for ways to obtain that price.

If I will wait for December to gain the expected salary pay and some bonuses, it will be about a month and days from today before I get a new laptop. This will really problematic, as I cannot then digitally-color the artworks for that duration on time. I can sketch, and I do have a scanner working. but I cannot color it. This is now my dilemma. As of the moment I am really short of funds, so there's no going around. I know I should have saved some cash before, anticipating for this kind of event...but I'm just human, things aren't simple as that.

I hate to say this, but I really need some help, dear followers. If someone willing to commission me for the purpose I will be grateful. It would be an advance payment for that reason. My fare is 55$ for simple shade (this with simple or detailed background), 75$ for detailed shade. Your commission will help me to reach the downpayment price.

Or if you cannot I can negotiate for the prize, anything from lineart or something just to accumulate the right amount. If you wish to donate a little money it is fine with me. A little help can be great most of the time. 

I am hoping for some help. I certainly needed it. PM me if you wish to commission or help, or send me an e-mail through here: billymesh063@gmail.com 

I will give already my sincere thanks to all, especially those who will help me for this matter. Again, thank you.
