my dad once bought my sister an iPhone 5s for my birthday. I got a 2 liter of Pepsi.

When it's your parent's birthday give a gift to the other and act confused if they ask why.

I'm wondering if there's something more to this, like if OP's brother's laptop happened to break, and the day it was replaced happened to be OP's bday? Also, OP never said if he/she got anything either. Assuming the worst, however, FYL OP, that would really suck :/

at 11, I was playing outside and entertaining myself with sports and what not . Can't say I was given a laptop at that age . sorry OP!

I mean I'd understand if your brother got something like an action figure, as I believe it's fine to give little knick knacks for no reason every now and then, but a laptop? And on your birthday? That's pretty shitty :/

Well MacBooks aren't the best laptops someone can buy, so at least you'll have something to talk about

Eh... I've had nothing but Apple technology, and though it's pricey, I have to say that it's also quality stuff. Our opinions may just differ on that though

But having only had apple technology you can't speak objectively on which is better. I have had Apple products as well as other brands. I found Apple to be rather difficult to use, as well as limiting, but againthats my opinion.

I've had both an iPad and an Android Tablet PC and the Android was absolutely unresponsive, the battery kept dying, even when it wasn't in use, the apps I'd use on it would just not work at all where they'd work perfectly on my iPad. I haven't had many other Apple or Android products, but based off what I used, I'd choose Apple, definitely,

Seriously?!? I had to work my butt off for 2 summers scrubbing toilets for rich d-bags when I was 22 and 23 in order to buy myself a MacBook. 3 yrs of really crappy Christmas/birthday gifts for all of them should get the point across. FYL indeed(I tried to hit the button but there is a glitch)

My brother got an Xbox 360 for Christmas a couple years ago. I got a toaster, pancake mix, and a men's razor.
