Hey guys.. Need some advice here.

I'm returning to school for a 4 year degree. (Journalism).

I have a $1,500 grant that I don't have to pay back that I was planning on using to go towards a new computer (Since my tuition is pretty much paid).

I was thinking that I could use the laptop a great deal at school, and of course I'll be writing a whole bunch. Never had one before.

I wrote to someone at the program regarding my situation and they said that they have tonnes of computers and such, so it may not be worth my while.


To make a long story short, I have a really old (6 years) PC at home that really needs an upgrade. It does what it needs to do, but really sucks at lagging at a lot of things, mostly games.


So, would a new PC or Laptop be a good investment?

Most people tell me that a laptop is good, but becomes obsolete quicker and you don't use it at school as much as you think, and that there are computers at school anyway.

Thanks guys. (And gals).

James.
