Help a Nigerian Student Build a Better Future

I'm a Nigerian student in the U.S. chasing a dream to become a world-class data scientist. I want to build an app that predicts economic inequality, create tools for mental health, and make machine learning accessible. But my current setup can't even run a Jupyter Notebook without overheating like a frying pan. Plus, it's a school computer and can get searched and wiped without remedy. So, I want my own beefy laptop that belongs to ME and ME alone.
