ONE HUMAN. ONE LAPTOP. LOTS OF IDEAS.

HEY, I'M
MATHIAS.

01 / THE ASK

I’m raising €500 for a MacBook with an M1 chip or better. Give me a machine that can keep up, and I’ll learn AI agentic coding to build apps, websites, and games people can actually use.

SCROLL TO SEE THE PLAN
02 / THE MISSION ↘

A SMALL UPGRADE.
A BIG LEARNING CURVE.

The MacBook is the starting line. I want to learn how to build apps with AI agents: turning rough ideas into useful things I can test, improve, and share.

01

Learn agentic coding by building actual projects, not just watching tutorials.

02

Experiment, break things, fix them, and get better with every build.

03

Share what I learn and help other people make cool things too.

03 / WHAT I COULD BUILD ↘

ONE MAC.
SO MANY IDEAS.

These are the kinds of projects I want to try. They start as small experiments, then get better every time I learn something new.

01 / STUDY SMARTER

A study app that quizzes me.

Upload class notes or a PDF, get practice questions back, and focus on the topics I keep missing. It could help me study now and help classmates later.

02 / HELP ECOPIXEL

An ad maker for Ecopixel.

Build a tool for my dad’s recycled plastic firm that turns a product photo and a few facts into draft headlines, visuals, and social ads to review.

03 / MAKE IT FUN

A game people want to play.

Design the rules, draw a little world, code the interactions, and let friends test it. A game would teach me design, logic, and how to finish a project.

They’re ideas, not finished products yet. The laptop gives me a place to start building them.

04 / WHY THIS MACHINE ↘

WHY
A MAC?

A MacBook with an M1 chip or better gives me a dependable place to code, run development tools, test ideas, and keep learning wherever I am.

The goal is simple: get the tool, learn the craft, then use both to help people build things they care about.

from “what if?” to “it works.”
THE REASONS / 2026

AN M1 CAN TAKE ME
TOWARD UNIVERSITY.

I need a solid machine for school, coding, and learning with AI agents. These are the reasons an M1 is a practical place to start.

01 / SOFTWARE SUPPORTStill on the current macOS list.

Apple says macOS 27 works on Macs with M-series chips, including the M1.

APPLE SUPPORT ↗ 02 / READY TO CODEA real development setup.

VS Code offers an Apple silicon build, so I can learn to code on this machine.

VS CODE GUIDE ↗ 03 / ROOM TO LEARNStart building with agents.

VS Code’s agent quickstart shows a path from a plain-language idea to a working app.

AGENTS QUICKSTART ↗

No one can promise how long a used laptop will last. The goal is to buy a good one that can support my learning on the road to university.
