Why I Should Get A Laptop?
Drawn in by the appeal of the Asus Eee PC, I can't help but to want to have one. I've actually been wanting a PC for a long time, but with the prices of the Eee PC being super cheap, the want has only become greater. However, being a 14 year old, my dad has found it convenient to say NO. I've tried reasoning with him to no avail. Any "experts" out there can give me some solid reasons as to why I should or must get one? Appreciate your help! :D

Bro as i was as old i wanted a laptop too, ut they aint as functonal as destop pc's, an i dont think u realy need one, lets be honest, you would never do ur homework at ur pc, i know i talket that way, now i bought one andd dont even use it, better buy some new components for ur pc, a new graphic card or bigger ram, that will be better than to buy a sshitty lap top u cant even play games on, for a real good laptop u need to spend at least $1000 and in the end if u compare it with ur desktop, ur desktop will be better... trust me u don't need one!

Erm, tell him the reason is to take it to school and then work on it, you can then continue this work at home...
Also tell him you are going to start up an ebay business and will actualy earn enought money to pay him back for the laptop and also buy him a new car
Also tell him it is good for him as he can use the laptop to store all his photos on and google interesting things...
Also tell him that by having a PC in the house will let him sign up for e billing and reduce all his home bils ever so slightly...
Erm, also tell him that having a laptop will let you develop your reaction skills (by playing games) which will help you in the future in your chosen career of fighter pilot..
But laptops for you are good idea as you can take it round your friends, or simply on your lunch do work, and also take it down the park and do more work! so you get fresh air and do work... yer do more work!
Thats all I can think of right now :)

The only real advantage of having a laptop is being able to perform your school work at anyplace, anytime. Tell your dad that with a laptop you will be able to organize your work better, and you'll always have access to what you need with out having to caryy a 20lb backback.

well personaly, if you can't come up with any reasons yourself, you don't actually need one at all...
It's not like you're leaving the house and doing your homework in a coffee shop or anything, or need it for work, stick with a computer for a while, it's not that bad

Your dad obviously thinks your too your to get a laptop, so make him believe your mature enough for one and that you won't destroy it when he gets it for you.
Be responsible in the things you do and i assure you u'll get a laptop
