Can anyone help me with my decision?

[AlanAlan]

I was first looking into laptops because I wanted portability and after a time of searching for one I thought that most of my work can be done over my phone so I thought of building a computer will just as capable for less. What do you guys think I should chose?

I would go into building a computer. it's more powerful than a phone depending on what you want to do that is.

I was planning in to do microsoft office and sometimes stream movies and video s. If I build a computer my budget is $450 will you think it can perform these task easily?
