I'm relatively new here - but have found some great advice!

While this decision doesn't have to be made pronto, I'm curious what people's thoughts are re: the desktop vs. laptop decision for college. My daughter will be a freshman next year and I'm leaning towards thinking a laptop would be nice - portable when she wants/needs it to be. Any specific pros/cons you can see to having one over the other???

Her hopeful college of choice is not all wireless, but has several wireless areas and buildings. She will also likely come home fairly often - home will be less than 1 1/2 hour away...
