should i buy a laptop or a desktop for this school year?





I am going to be a senior this year in high school. I currently have a Toshiba laptop and it’s about three years old…still runs real nice for a well-worn computer, but it’s too behind the times for me. Basically, I want to get an updated, not TOO expensive computer (roughly around 0-650 is what I want to spend) that will play specifically The Sims 3. I’d also want it for normal stuff like holding word documents and photos and whatnot, but mainly I just like to use the internet at play the Sims. I am going to go to Best Buy…and I want to know, should I get a desktop, or a laptop? And what specific things should I look for?

is this a good deal for a used laptop?

I need a laptop for school (10th grade). Mainly only for typing up papers, facebook, and surfin the web. I don’t really have to store documents on it soo the memory shouldn’t be a big issue. I have some pictures but i could store them on a flash drive. I put an add on craigslist for a used laptop because i have to buy my own with my christmas money (5) and someone responded with this offer, which was the only one within my budget. Do you think its a good deal and what questions should I ask the seller?

I have a Toshiba laptop you may be interested in. It is a P III at 850 mhz , 512 ram running XP-Home. I think the Hard Drive is 20 gig ? Not sure of that. I have the owners manual on the desktop. It is in good condition except the battery is shot. I have the AC adapter and it runs fine as long you plug it in. I also have a Wi-Fi card which works good at Borders etc.

We are a non-smoking home and it is in shiny condition , looks and runs good. I am not a computer whiz and bought this before I bought my better laptop as a temp substitute.

I have a non-matching mouse to go with it but it does have the little touch point to control the mouse. I may have a case for it. It also has a DVD rom drive and works to watch movies ( the main reason I bought it ).
Price is 0 firm , let me know.
