Well, you're def not going to take notes on laptops, whether they let you or not becuase you get to buy the book. And lectures are basically explaining the book. So just keep your book open and make notes IN THE BOOK of what's unclear. I mean, you have the god damn information in front of you and you BOUGHT it. So why not mark it up?

I'm for desktops. The only advantage of a laptop seems to be its mobility, which is negated by the fact that a). you'd look like a huge tool if you tried to use it in class to take notes in addition to it not being a practical tool for note taking and b). the only places where one could study easier than one's dorm room are already are hooked up with computers so there is no need to drag a laptop all the way over there.

well im heading to college next year, and im thinking of going with a desktop and laptop combo, ill probably buy one fo those cheap 500 dollar laptops from bets buy on sale no need for top of the line, and just build my own desktop at home for gaming ofcourse and watching movies and stuff, and to make it better, since i think i could be lucky and get my own room without roomates i can just save money and since im getting a job at best buy in 2 months buy one of those nice lcd flat screen around 24 inches which will be awesome for movies and tv. so ill save money on buying a tv. so i say bith.

most schols have deals with companies such as dells giving students on fa porportional discounts in addition to overall discounts. my advice to you would be to wait untill your into a school.
