You'll be bored of your ipod touch and all of it's features in a couple weeks. You just need a simple ipod with decent battery life that can play music. A decent gaming laptop however has tons more potential.

A good laptop, trust me, even if it's a 400 dollar laptop, if you treat it right, it will bring many hours of enjoyment.

For the things you listed a touch would be great, it has some good cheap games, youtube works great on it and the 3g models (2g too I think) have great sound as long as you don't feed them crap and you know how to use iTunes. Also you won't get a very good laptop for the same price, you will have to pay a lot more for a decent laptop and in which case I would recommend building a PC because I hate laptops.

You will get a lot of people say otherwise because they have never used a touch and that irrational hate for Apple btw.

Read up on the Touch on the mobile gaming board, I take mine everywhere and it makes boring parts of the day go much faster. Best Mp3 player I have owned, CD quality music if you encode to 256kbps and it has some great games and apps. Keep some money aside for a decent pair of earbuds though.

A laptop that is actually capable of playing fairly recent games ("decent gaming laptop"), even on low settings, will cost a lot more than an iPod touch. A desktop that can play the same games on the same settings as the laptop will always be cheaper. So if you're serious about wanting to play games, get a console or desktop PC. If you want something that you can browse the internet on, do a little bit of work on, etc. get a low-end laptop / netbook. If you want portability and something you can always take with you on the move, get an iPod. Really it's a question of how much money you have and what you want it for.

I swear to god this was going to be MY EXACT ******* post...word for word

an ipod is a luxury in the truest sense of the word...a computer becomes less so with each passing day (almost a necessity at this point)

Irrational isn't the term to describe it. More like warranted, but that's just my opinion. I'd go for the laptop. My $280 netbook is better than an iPad.

It's been a month and I am not bored of it. In fact I think it's very helpful and fun. A regular iPod is not that great of a substitute unless all you want is music/videos.

Well, if you already have a desktop and are not in college or anything, I would definitely get the iPod Touch. If you don't have your own computer, the laptop definitely. And if you don't even need a computer for portability get a desktop since its cheaper.
