Aftery ND I've been working in a water factory  work for the past 5 year's. Age wise and health wise this is not a Future proff job best to work for sometime and get/learn something Better. I'm  in my late 20s, I stopped recently due to health reasons caused by extreme physical labour and long working hour's. Only those who have been here will understand more(factory worker's are treated Like animal until you breakdown like a donkey).. it's time to learn something new and make better use of my life.. I want to go into  graphics design as my starting point.
Bros in the house, how where can I start from( I'm having some sorta of fear but I'll surely overcome, it happens when change occurs)... I'll be getting a laptop next mid-month,  I'm a fast learner and I'm ready to devote time... Please suggest materials and platforms that I can learn from, I know decipline and consistency is important... You should also throw some light on that too ( for a newbie)
I have a part Time job and that can keep me focused on learning new things so I have lots of time for now .
"You can also suggest the best laptop a newbie should get with a budget of 100-140k slightly more though"
* Is it a must to get a laptop with dedicated graphics card?.. those are quite expensive..
Thanks for your input

Happy New month everyone , bosses please say something please don't just view and pass
