Will financing a purchase hurt my credit?

Here's my situation.My laptop died recently, and I need something to do my school work on for next semester, so I need to get an iPad or cheap laptop or something. Hopefully nothing over $500. I have a steady job and can make monthly payments, I just can't pay for it all at once.

I have tried to avoid a credit card, and I'm not sure how credit scores work, but I really need something to do my work on.So my question is if I get a credit card, can I purchase an iPad/Laptop and pay it off over a couple of months? and if I do, will that hurt my credit score? From what I know, one is supposed to pay of the full balance every month.
Thanks in advance,
Paul

Should I get an ipod touch instead of an ipad?

I have 2 iPads, one 3rd generation and one 1st generation. I was thinking maybe I could sell my 1st generation iPad and get an iPod touch with the money? Since I'm in middle school and bus rides and lunch are extremely boring, I would play it there. Also from time to time we have electronics out in class, so I'm stuck with a crappy mp3 watching someone else play on their iPod.So should I do it? 2 iPads seem a bit overkill so I want to sell my old one. The new one is faster and less buggy.

Should I get an iPhone 5 or an iPad mini? - 1

Currently, I have a Pantech Link 2 and an iPod touch 4G. I am getting really sick of my iPod touch and my phone. They are both extremely spazzy and crash all the time. Problem is, I am not eligible for an upgrade until 2014! I don't mind paying the ETF, though. I would really like the iPhone 5, but, I wouldn't mind the iPad mini either.As for paying for the plan for the iPhone, I have worked out a deal with my mom. The total for me a month to have one is 30 dollars and my mom agreed to pay 15 and I will pay 15. The one I want more is the iPhone 5. BTW, I am 13 year old boy.

Should I return my iPad 3?

I bought an iPad 3 for no reason really. Now I am having thoughts about returning it because having that extra $450.00 in my account would make me feel great plus I want to get the G155 Portable gaming Environment case for my PS3 and I currently don't have enough. All I use my iPad for really is games(barely) and Netflix every night. I don't really enjoy the games that much but they're something to do when I don't have anything else to do. I watch Netflix everynight on it because I feel like my iPad is going to waste. I could easily watch Netflix from my PS3 on my TV but that wouldn't make me use my iPad. If I'm struggling to use my iPad that means I should return it right? Just need some outside sources on this decision.
