Which Should I Go For?? Foreign Used Laptop Or New Phone..... by Kuminga(op): 8:34am On Mar 27
Good morning nairalanders, I'm at a cross road on what to purchase..... I need a good laptop to up skill myself... On the other hand, I also need a new phone as the Huawei phone I'm currently using has been giving me issues with the screen. The problem is I don't have the budget to purchase this two gadgets at the same time....

What do you I should buy first.... A foreign Used Laptop or a new phone undecided

Ps: my budget is ₦200k

Will I get a laptop with a spec of | Intel core i5 | 256gb SSD | 8gb RAM|for that amount?

In economics this is called scale of preference...


You have to for go one for the other. But no one except you can answer the question of which is more important to your personal needs!

Depends on what the laptop is for. Like basic tasks and browsing you should get a core i5 4th gen for like 100 to 120k with probably 8gig, 256gig HDD maybe win 10 with short battery life. Use the balance buy a UK used Samsung like S8 or S9 which can still last for 2 years.

When money comes, you can begin to upgrade the laptop by additional RAM, change to SSD, buy new battery or outright sell and buy something higher

This sounds feasible.... Though the laptop I need is something I can use for my tech journey... I'll check the price for UK Used Samsung S8 or S9.....

Thank you Chief
