Should i get a laptop? my mother is being lazy about it, and my moms boyfriend has lots of cash so i thought about getting a laptop. my argument is very very strong, because well: i just started virtual school about 2 months ago, and since then my brothers always go on the computer all day when they aren't supposed to. i also wanna practice my singing and acting skills by researching acting cast calls and singing talent show auditions, but i can't do that if there's constantly someone on the only computer in the house. i'm thirteen and since i was about to get started being home schooled 2 weeks before school ended, technically i'm still a 7th grader until i finish the missing work from the 2weeks i was absent. if i don't finish my work in i'll get left i also want to be a movie star planet gamer . my mom doesn't even let me play games on the computer because it's strictly for work. but if i had my own i'd be doing my own can you ? should i get a laptop? if so, how can i convince my mom and her boyfriend to get me one? also what are good laptops for a 300 dollar budget?
