new laptop for my birthday?

[Kairi_and_Sora789]

So in a few days (11 now) comes the day that makes my sisters groan. It makes me excited. Simply put, it's my birthday.
After doing some *HARD* thinking, I thought I might want a laptop/computer for my birthday. I saved up like $350 (I've been saving for a long time) And now comes the hard part.
I need to convince my sisters in SOME way that I can get a computer/laptop for my birthday. What I need is some good examples/explanations why

My best one: We have one computer, mostly filled with grades, templates, junk, etc. Also:my sisters have laptops (although they say it's for work only..like I believe that)

Anyone got any ideas?

BEST REASON: I need to play FFR on a better computer

Oh dear. Don't get too excited.

Tell them you need it for school.

Wait, you're going to pay $350 for a laptop?

Uh, good luck with that. My laptop cost over 1000 dollars and I still have to play FFR on low-qual and it still lags.

Today, you can get a decent Core Duo Laptop for what Jurs paid. $350 will buy you a secondhand paperweight.

anyways...idno how much i paid for mine but i knew ppl and still got mine for $500 something
well actually it was a graduation present

it mainly depends on what else you want to use it for

I'm using my "graduation present" right now. I graduate in three months.

Lmao, 350 dollars won't get a laptop that has the capabilities to even run FFR. You'd be better of selling meth until you got enough money to buy a decent one.
