| DH and I have been back and forth with this for a while... I think it will boil down to where DD ends up...if it's fully wireless and NOT in the city (i.e. lots of crime, i.e. theft), we'll spring for the laptop. If it's not fully wireless and there is a potential theft problem, then we'll go with the desktop. Also, we'll have to look at what the students seem to prefer. At our flagship State U., where DD is leaning, we're told only about 60% of the freshmen have their own computer, since there are computer labs galore (in every dorm and library, several classroom buildings as well as the Student Union). |
