If you're asking whether to get a cell phone or a new laptop, and all you have is $115.00, I'd recommend a cell phone due to their internet capabilities nowadays, but ONLY IF you can keep your mouth from running up a major monthly bill. If you can't control how much you let your mouth run off on the phone, and all you get is income from chores, then I'd leave the cell phone alone and go for the laptop. You'll be saving yourself a lot of money in the long run, and you'll be getting a really good piece of machinery. But then, remember, a computer has a monthy internet connection fee. Although that can be a whole lot less than the monthly cell phone bill you run up, it's still there, so you have to have a steady and reliable income to have either. Good luck. God Bless you.

I'd go for the cell, it will take a while to save up for a good laptop (on average about 500-1000 dollars), whereas most cell phones cost about 75 dollars and up...it really depends on how you plan on paying for the item before and after you get it; honestly you could probably buy either one right now and just pay monthly for it. For example, if you get the laptop, you could just pay about 20-25 dollars a month for it, the cell phone however, you'd have to pay for it all up front, unless you sign up for a special plan or coverage, and then you still need to put down a small amount of money to cover it.
Whichever one you decide to buy, just be careful that you have a payment plan or a steady job or income to pay it off...

I think you'll get more use out of a lap top even if you talk on the phone 24 hours a day. And a cell phone will keep costing you money so you have to think about the fact that you'll be billed monthly.

I just bought a laptop, I love it but I really regret spending the money. I still owe a lot of money and I hate being in debt to my parents. If you buy a laptop, make sure you research it, price, accessories, everything. Make sure you are prepared to spend a minimum of $250 extra. So if the laptop is $550 (mine was that price), make sure you have $800-ish for a protection plan, a case, etc.

Do u need a NEW cellphone?? It seems u may already have one, if u do then just continue saving for something else you need- Usually laptops are more expensive then a PC, why don't u get a PC instead of a laptop? u may be able to get a good PC for under $600---- You're almost there!

Remember - a cell phone also has a monthly bill attached so if you can't maintain the monthly bill, a laptop might be a better option especially if your home already has the net service.

you can get a decent multifunction cell phone for around that price. if you already have a cell, get rid of it and pawn it off on ebay for some extra loot. at this rate it will take you a LONG time to save up for a laptop. might as well indulge now, you can always get one later on.

You'll be saving for a really long time for a laptop BUT if thats what you would ultimately like.........Keep saving trust me you'll feel great about it when you finally get it.........
No need for a cell if you have one........IF you dont.......well go get you one and then you can just start all over again and eventually have BOTH items and feel alot of self accomplisment!!!
Good luck ;)

Laptop. By the time you save enough your money for a laptop, your money will buy more power. You can get a crappy free phone from your phone carrier next time you renew.

Save for a laptop as long as your phone is still working.
