Would you rather have an i-phone or a Laptop?

I would rather have a Laptop.It can do more, you have a big screen and after all i-Phone is overrated.There are better smart phones than an i-Phone.

I agree with you. I would much rather have a basic mobile phone, and a good laptop to use to access the Internet. However, I WOULD like to have one of those I-Touch things from Apple. It has all the apps that an I-phone offers, but it is not a telephone, and it works off the Wi-Fi connections offered at restaurants and coffee shops just the way your laptop does if it has a wireless internet card built in. They are pretty cool. They offer a lot of the same things that a laptop allows you to do (and more), but it is small enough to fit into a cell phone case, or even your jacket pocket...

I live in Manitoba, the province of the bargain hunters and we have a good date plan for the Iphone that costs under eighty dollars and includes the regular talk and text, free weekends, free evenings. My husband is using a special laptop that is wireless (He has Lou Gehrig's disease) so I have free wireless in our home - really do not need the data plan except for our provider and then they pay for it. So I have an iphone that I use as an ipod, photo storer, weather checker, note taker, and ereader as well as a look up cookbook. Not into games. I do not like silly applications, so I know what you mean. After I saw that the phone would be good for a visual person like myself, I also checked to see if there were practical applications that I could use. I would get both, but one advantage of the iphone if you have free wireless, you can delete all your spam without having to turn on your computer. Believe me getting rid of those Nigerian scams is well worth it.

I agree with you definitely. I'd much rather have a laptop than an iphone! I mean, I don't need a smartphone. I just need a phone to call people and occasionally text and that's it. I don't need the internet or anything like that. It's cool to have, but I'd prefer a laptop given the choice. You can do a lot more with a laptop and I think it's a much better deal for the kind of money you're going to spend. You can get free wifi on a laptop depending on where you are, but you have to pay for a data plan and stuff for the iphone.

Easy- iPhone. Before 2008, I used to be restricted to sitting down to be able to connect to the internet, or play games, or watch a video. Now, I'm hardly ever on it. And to those who say "well an iPhone wouldn't be very good to watch a movie", why would you watch a whole movie on laptop? Wouldn't a TV be better for that? I've discovered that if you have the right app, you can do absolutely anything. Before the 3GS, I used to challenge people to tell me something a laptop could do which an iPhone couldn't, and the only thing they could come up with was video editing, and now it can even do that more easily and faster than most laptops! If you say a laptop is better for playing games, I say you can't pick your laptop up, wave it around, interact with its screen and get immersed as brilliantly as you can on the iPhone. Plus, it's a phone!

Kind of a weird question, it's like asking where would you want to live in a car or a house? So... yeah, laptop I guess, you can't make money through iPhone, even though it's overrated.

I-phone is good. These days it comes free as part of cell phone contracts. So I don't mind having it. My husband has it and it seems one of he best gadget we have seen. Along with this contract there are free features as free limited international calls and other features at 45$ per month. We have laptop but we do not carry it around for short visits.

I would choose to have a laptop. You can use it with a lot of things compared to an i-phone. I-phone is just to show off that you have the most latest gadget but it can never replace a pc.

iphone? nay.. a laptop would be my choice.! damn i can't even replace the batteries on an iphone. well i know my nokia 5800 xm is not really that comparable with the iphone, but i love that!

I remain with a laptop, know them, as using them, because it is like a traditional computer, on the other hand an iphone, I do not have well in clearly what is, I have never seen one, it me sounds to that it is a very sophisticated telephone with Internet.

Hello, A laptop is a portable personnal computer and there are no other appliance which can replace them for most purposes. The iPhone is a 'smart' phone which is even more portable and where you can also do many things your doing with a laptop, however, the fundamental disadvantage of the iPhone ,or for that matter, any 'smart' phone is that the screen will NEVER be as big as a laptops screen as well as the 'keypad'. Also when it comes to 'smart' phones there are even cheaper but even more feature-rich, more powerful, prettier, alternatives to the iPhone. So laptop vs. iPhone? For me, laptop(for same price as an iPhone) wins hands down. (Actually, I'd take the iPhone coz I already have a laptop but I have no 'smart' phone) ^_^ so in the end it can also depend on what you have and don't have...

I prefer Laptop to Iphone. As I find it easy to get all the applications and stuffs for laptop. I have a craze for the display size.Laptops come with all the features stuffed in it which you find in iphone that are needed for your purpose.

I would choose a laptop over an iphone. you can watch a good movie in a laptop and do many other important stuff with much convenience because it is not too small. It is also more practical. And yes I agree that laptops are smarter. I love my lappy!! :)

i'd rather have a laptop because they are both portable and a laptop does more than an iphone

Laptop of course. It is very easy to manipulate and you can go around www in no time at all. iPhone is quite complicated to operate and you must have a cat eye to read and understand the whole thing in that small screen. If you have a problem with phoning a friend, you can always have an ordinary cellphone that works wonder too.

Me too, I pick laptop since I can do a lot with my laptop alone than Iphone.. What I love with laptop is that I can play the games I love and watch online smoothly plus it has much better reception than the Iphones...

hey it depends on what u want it for like if u want it for gaming then u need to decide what kind of game is that if something else then try to figure out in specifics GOOD LUCK

iPhone are quite expensive and if compare to a laptop you could to more task in laptop than iphone the only difference is that iPhone are more handy compare to laptop but in buying always look for greater benefits and not in brand name or size.

I think I would rather have an iphone because I could take it anywhere with me! I've already got a laptop so that would be an edition to my collection!!

Personally, i would rather have a laptop. But what i dont get is the ipad. I have no idea why anyone would want one of those, they just seem like an iphone that needs to go on a diet
