I usually do the paper form for my taxes, and get a refund check, but decided to provide my checking account info for the stimulus check since the government has it anyway to direct deposit my Social Security. My stimulus money was direct deposited yesterday, and it’s been used to pay for the new MacBook Air I bought in March.

I also bought a laptop in March with my upcoming stim check. 17.3" by HP with fast i5 and with an 256GB NVME drive. I am glad I bought last month because with all the self isolations and people vegging out at home... 17.3" laptop prices are up up up.

Good luck with it. Something with the video card or video system finally crapped the bed on my 2011 MacBook Pro. I’d had it fixed once about 2 1/2 years ago, but it just wasn’t worth it to do it. It was a known problem on that production year, and although they’d had a recall on it, mine wasn’t having any problems at the time, so I wasn’t qualified to have it fixed. The computer didn’t owe me a penny, and I was able to keep the hard drive from it.
