Need A New Apple Laptop
Hello, I'm Lindsey. An autistic artist who loves to draw furries and other types of fantasy creatures. I own an art business called Golden Mane Illustrations designing a variety of art and merch that's geared towards the disability, neurodivergent/autistic, LGBTQIA+, mental health, and other marginalized communities.
I mainly draw digitally from my XP-Pen Artist 15.6 Pro tablet and use a Apple laptop for most of my work. As of lately it's been acting up on me and started slowing down. I've had my current Apple MacBook Pro for 6 years so I knew it was about to die down eventually.
Today it suddenly shut down, the screen went all black, and the Apple logo stopped lighting up. The odd thing is the keyboard is all lit up and when I turn the power back on all it does is do the Apple chime when I press the power button but the screen won't start up. It could be because of a software malfunction or the RAM drive isn't working correctly. I have no idea. I tried everything in the book but it still doesn't display the screen.
Thankfully I have a backup drive with everything saved and stored in it. Most of my files, projects, and programs were transferred onto it so I'm not worried about that but I'm pretty upset that my laptop I've had for so long has finally gave up on me.
Long story short..I really need to raise money to buy a brand new Apple MacBook very soon. One that is compatible with my XP-Pen Artist 15.6 Pro tablet and one that can hold an HDMI cord. I don't have the funds to afford one on my own so I will need any help I can get and as soon as possible. Any amount is highly appreciated and if you are able to donate and share this around I would forever be thankful!
