Phone or Laptop? Which one to buy?

hi, Sorry to hear about the issues. If money is the problem then you should go for a mobile with all funtions/ net etc. I feel you can't carry a laptop everywhere and we, as of date, consider mobile phones as a must. Meanwhile you can save some amount for buying a laptop and get it at a later date. I really don't prefer a second hand laptop as well. In India we get a variety to choose from when it comes to a mobile phone with internet options.

Hey,I have been through this dilemma.I will tell you to buy a laptop and use it for browsing purposes and to see films and other such uses.Because if you use a mobile phone for all that,your battery will drain faster and you can not make a call which is the basic necessity of a mobile phone.If your present mobile phone has retired,buy a basic model which will hold its battery for 3 days or so to make your call and a laptop for other purposes

Whoah, indeed that is a dilemma. However, if you're always online then why not go for the laptop instead? Perhaps if you don't use it often for going online, it wouldn't drain quicker. If I were you I would just buy a laptop and a low-end phone. Have a great MyLot experience ahead!

Well, you have to decide, wich one of the two apliances is more needed, and wich one, will end its useful life first, maybe you can take the phone to the technitian, maybe the problem is nothing so bad, and think in the laptop instead. It is hard, nowadays, to live without a mobile phone, we like to think otherwise, but, in the end, the ease and convenience offered by the phone imposed itself.

I think you can live with either one of them.. since you can use either one of them to connect with your family.. But the phone is more portable.. so i think you should buy that first.. and be more careful, buy more durable one, a Nokia perhaps.

HI sis!! Since you still can use both, for the time being you can still hold and keep the money first. When you are no longer can use the phone you may get the new one first before the laptop as there is nothing wrong with the laptop right? So I think you don't have to thin about purchasing the new laptop.(^^)

I think if you have enough money go for laptop. I think laptop is good as one need to do all the things one need especially browsing. Go for mobiles that cost less and buy laptop with additional money.

If you just want an ordinary cellphone, it will not cost so much. You can buy a simple cellphone and a laptop together. But if you want to buy a smartphone, it may be a little expensive. But since the cellphone is still very important. I think probably you shall buy it at first and then buy a laptop later. I love China

It depends on where you will going to use. If you need to work on office applications which requires typing to many documents then a laptop is what you need. But if you just need to browse the internet and play with apps and browse social networking sites then you might as well get the phone instead.

I would go with a laptop. I am not one to get a cell phone,like driod,I-Phone and etc. To me getting a laptop would be much better idea. I don't use my cell alot as it is. I would use a laptop all the itme. I also am still getting used to all the techology some cell phones are capable of doing! I rather stick with a laptop if I had the chose.

Hi godmom Well, there is nothing to prioritize and you can and should go for both. Wait. First tell me this - what is the use of a blackberry or even an iPhone? Primary - to make calls. You can also make calls even from the lowest standard handsets - like the nokia or even samsung - which only provide for calls and messaging. I fail to understand why we need to opt for smart phones when we primarily use the phones to make calls. Mine is an LG model and it was only 1300.00 INR (today around 25USD) and I have been using it since the past 4 years and it is still going great. The laptop will definitely help you in increasing your income and I am sure with that new increased income you would be able to buy a new better handset soon (okay may be a blackberry or even an iPhone). The only issue with this suggestion is - your mentality and the awareness to what your peers are using... I do understand that once you get accustomed to using those high end phones, they not only become a kind of a personal statement but also make the use of simple phones seem odd.But then, the solutions are easier, made difficult only by our own preferences.

Think of something that you need most. Think which one is really what you need. If your phone seems to be stressing you out all the time, I think you can go for it first and then buy the laptop afterwards. I too would love to have a new phone that I can use but since mine still works perfectly fine, I'm contented with it for the meantime. You see, our phones nowadays are such a huge necessity that we can't seem to miss any phone call or message from anyone especially from our family. Since you said that you live away from home, keeping in touch is also important. But, if you think you can still handle the situation that your phone brings you into, with all the stress and having to charge it twice a day, then maybe you can wait a little bit longer. Here's one thing I would like to share with you, and that is if there is any thing that you seem to tolerate everyday, and sometimes gets you pissed off, then you have to get rid of it since you are in a way spending some energy tolerating and stressing about it.

The technology has developed a lot. The intentions had created a huge computer into a small. This signifies the improvement and importance of technology in our life. In kerala the price of a good laptop about 40 thousand,i mean a good one. I think it is a little huge amount. When we compare the cost and benifits of a tab. Now we have a lot of android phones in our market with lots of android applications. Those application brings you anything you need. There are several application with lots of fun and all the thing you need also there phones provides you a good storage capacity and a good capturing facility. A computer cannot bring this all with an huge amount but a simple tab can do it. More over the new generation has a good eye on such phones and all of them are trying to get. Like wise you should also be in the new trend. I an sure that such phones will gives you a lot of fun and all you need.

It depends on your utility of course. If you are more of a web surfer and games enthusiast. You could consider getting a laptop and buy the cheapest phone, but if your concern is only surfing some sites, you can consider having a smartphone. Have a good day. :)

Think about how often do you need a gadget before buying one. This is the basic rule when buying appliances as well as gadgets. If you have a certain apps that you need to have everyday; then assets it if you need need to use it everyday out of necessity or out of the time-killing. Oh, and don't forget to check gadget reviews in YouTube. It also helps to determine if an item is worth buying for. It is now getting popular recently. It's like getting a sneak peak at the program, gadget or phone before buying it.

Hi, If I were you, I would buy a laptop. You can always use a landline phone.

en, I am planning to buy a new laptop ,although this old one is still working fine. My phone is almost 5 years now, still working good as well. Maybe you can buy a new phone first and then laptop on your next savings Phone is much accessible when it comes to emergency, so I suggest you buy a new phone first

Hello enelym001! I think to resolve the issue, you can opt for an iPad with the phone features or the Samsung Galaxy Tab with phone features. Both functions of phone and laptop (at least the basic) is already integrated in one.=) Plus you don't have to bring 2 gadgets at one time because you are already carrying just one tool.;)

It depends what you need each for. If your phone is primarily to communicate with family, I would go for the new computer and wait on the phone. However, if you are like me, you have to have a phone in case you get called into work. If you need the phone to be available to work then the phone becomes more important. Perhaps you could, buy a new computer and buy a cheap phone. Down grade to a cheaper phone for now, that way you at least have a working phone and can buy the one you want when you have saved enough.

LAPTOP , more flexible , you can buy a standard phone to talk or to navigate online , but a LAPTOP it`s a "must have" these days ! now depends of your budget or what for you need a laptop or a phone :)
