To self-gift or not for Christmas?

We're getting closer to Christmas and I'm still on the fence on buying myself a laptop for the holiday. I'm thinking strongly about it but I also want to be financially responsible. In no way is this laptop essential for making some side hustle money, but it sure does make the process easier for me. Sure, I can watch movies and play video games but cellphones have improved greatly and all my favorite games can be played on an emulator for my phone.

I swear, I might just ask ChatGPT. Lol This is such a weird dilemma for me.
