ttmom, agree with all you wrote. Actually my older D is about to enter graduate school for architecture and she is only on a laptop and always will be. The arch students bring their laptops to studio. My older D owns two laptops. She has always been on a Mac as is our entire family and got a new Mac laptop when she went off to college. She attends Brown but took an architecture course that was digital at RISD and their students are on PCs and the architecture software programs that they had to use were not made for Mac. My D was fortunate that her grandparents bought her aa second laptop, a PC, to run those special programs and so she now has two, one of each kind, but for everything else uses her Mac. Just want to point out that even arch students tend to use laptops for all the reasons cited by myself and others here in terms of their portability and they do take it with them on campus to other locations, as well as when they travel off campus.
