Personally I would just go with buying a computer. Getting roped into a 2 year contract for however much money a month doesn't really appeal to me. If you won't be doing much with it beyond using the net and other casual tasks, you could easily pick up a laptop for $300-400 that would still be quite decent. That way if you ever want an upgrade or to do something else with it down the road, you have flexibility. I would never recommend getting a computer on lease, but I'm probably biased thanks to the fact that I'm always upgrading parts, and have completely replaced everything in my system over the course of the last year. But really, do you want to still be paying for a laptop that could very well be overpriced for the next 2 years when you could get a laptop that met your exact needs and price range and then be done with it without spending much? If you're not doing any photo editing/gaming/movie making/rendering, then you really don't have to spend much on a laptop. A few hundred bucks will do the job and still get you a nice machine.
im using the computer that i bought for going to college and i wish it was a laptop so i could use it in classes since they have free wireless internet anyway and plus this dumb thing likes to freeze up
