I already have a windows 8 laptop (free upgrade from my school) a iPhone 5 and an iPad Mini but I'm getting almost 2k for essentially free (refund from my school). So yeah which one would you rather have?
Got a tip for us?

Would you rather have an iPhone 5S or a MBA?

Man refunds aren't free, you have to pay those back one day....
How about you buy your textbooks and try to save the rest for emergencies.

Save your money and wait for an iPhone 6 or for when your laptop needs replacing.
Why would you have to pay back a refund? It just means you paid too much initially.
well to be fair i never DID ask for advice, I just asked which one people would prefer, but okay we can get into detail
my laptop is stupid, it freezes if I plug my beats in after I use the computer for a while. Sometimes it freezes just to freeze, This hasn't happened before I upgraded to windows 8, my usb mouse also gets shut off unless it's plugged in a certain way.
my iPhone is perfectly fine, there's nothing wrong with it but if the next iPhone is substantially different (like 3gs to iPhone 4 different) of course I will want it.
I want a MBA for integration with iOS 7 and OS X Mavericks.
I want the new iPhone for it's colors(if that whole thing is true) and new features. There. Happy?
Can't you go back to Windows 7?
If you already know what you want, why did you bother posting then? Asking what everybody would prefer doesn't help you much as everyone has different needs.
Windows 7 might be a better idea if they need windows.
Yes you did here.
And proved it in your reply.
Perhaps those e books aren't working out.
advice (ædˈvaɪs)
n.
1. an opinion or recommendation offered as a guide to action, conduct, etc.: I acted on your advice.
2. a communication, esp. from a distance, containing information: Advice from abroad states that the government has fallen.
3. an official notification.
Well then whats the point of all the "Are you gonna buy/ are you excited for the new iPhone threads"? And I don't think I can without deleting everything on my laptop.
Those threads are a bit different in my opinion, although they each seem to start their own thread instead of using one of the existing ones. Also, you did seem to be asking for advice (to most people) when you already knew what you wanted to do.
And as for your laptop, don't you have a backup or 2 of your data and stuff?
A laptop and phone are two very different things.
I know the feeling of getting that huge refund. The excess of my scholarship gives me $5000 every semester. No loans. I save the money and place it in an interest bearing account and use the rest for books and stuff. It's not a good idea to blow the refund if it came from a loan. Use some of it for fun and maybe the other for paying back interest or some of the principal.

If you have $2000 to spend you can probably afford both, especially after selling your current iPhone. If I were in your position, though, I would enjoy what I currently have and wait until the retina iPad mini comes out.
Agreed. I would also save it for unexpected expenses that almost always come up.
I mean, really, if I had to choose, I would wait until November or December to make any of those purchases. Why? Because if he expects a refund every semester, another one is around the corner. Wrong way of thinking though haha
Isn't it great trying to be a smart ass? You do realize I do not go to a community college right?
I don't think he ever said he went to community. Also, what if the refund is from a scholarship? No need to pay that back.
