What To Buy ? Television Or New Laptop !?

Question

well.

I'm getting some money from a relative. (don't ask why... long story)

i have enough to buy either a new TV or a new laptop.

a tv. ... because i at the moment have a very old tiny one.

but i only have enough for a slightly bigger one.

size of the tele matters to me because my eyesight is bad and i can not read small print.

a laptop. because the one i have now is getting weary. poor battery life. the right arrow button has fell off and i cant replace it at all. i cannot connect my ipod because i get the blue screen of death.

thanks in advance

Answer 2

While I'd like a better picture of what kind of laptop you have now (and why you need portability - you can get better performance from a desktop of the same price), I'd still say it's a slam dunk for the laptop.

With a laptop you can stream your favorite shows or watch video using YouTube - I admit I'm biased against TV since I just decided to stop watching all but a few shows (not because there's nothing worth seeing - rather the opposite, there's so much I'd love to watch, I'd end up spending the rest of my adult years watching TV).

Your TV, for its faults, seems to work, and you don;t sound like you'd get a much better one.

Your Laptop on the other hand is due to be replaced.  How much money are you looking at?  For abiut $900, there's a new Lenovo Thinkpad with a 2.26GHz Penryn C2D and 2GB of RAM.

Whatever you decide, good luck and I hope you enjoy what you get w/o grousing about what you "should" have gotten instead.

Answer 3

Laptop.

You can buy a $30 dollar USB Digital Terrestrial TV stick, put that in your laptop and watch AND record TV.

Of course, to get a good signal you'll still have to plug it into an antennae.

But if I were you, I'd use the money to build my own PC and use it as a media center.

Answer 4

Certainly a Laptop. It is multi-functional.

Answer 5

I say a laptop, and buy new glasses for TV watching.  

Answer 6

new or old tv...well it is still a freaking tv...

A laptop has way more functions than a machine that is only capable of letting us watch some free channels while with the laptop you can watch tv, play games, do work, mess around, check email, surf internet and many more

Its all your choice

NOTE: Get better glasses for the tv viewing

Answer 7

Laptop!

The PC is more of a TV to me (Internet Movies) then my cable.

Broken bottons? Dont tell me, you have a dell, hp or gateway right?
