I am curious if anyone else uses both a laptop and desktop for college, or is contemplating doing so. After looking at prices for performance laptops, I’ve become convinced it is really a good idea to go for a $1000 - $1300 desktop in conjunction with a $600 - $800 laptop. It would be lovely to hear other peoples’ thoughts on why they would be doing this, or their experiences with doing so, before I make my final decision on what to purchase.

As a note, I’d be self-building the desktop, so I’d stretch the $1000 - $1300 farther than though buying one pre-built.
