What should I choose to buy?

Hey guys.. Recently I have been saving money from my job in stead of wasting it and I've accumulated about $580 as of yesterday (I've been saving for 3 weeks.) I wanted to know if any of you could helP me chose an item to buy. Right now It is a mix up between an iPad and a laptop. I will save more money if due necessary. I'd want an iPad because it's more "techie", it's more suitable for my purposes of general web browsing and keeping up to date on tech news (I'm kinda a low budget techie) and I'm an all out apple fanboy. Aside from the fact that I'm leaning towards the purchase of an iPad, I've also looked into the purchase of a mid quality laptop. I'd want a laptop because I can play minecraft (don't laugh), I can view more media rich websites due to the enabled flash and java media enhancers. Also, I could use the more powerful processer in it to use more in depth video editing software and Photoshop. Id just like to know if any of you had any opinions on what I should buy. Also, if any of you have a disired item that costs from 400-700 dollars, please tell in your answer so I could see if it is something that I might consider purchasing. Anything helps. I just don't wanna make the wrong decision. Thanks.
