Laptop vs. Desk Top

I disagree that a “desktop replacement” would be good at college. It throws away the advantage that each system provides a college student. You get a big clunky laptop rather than a small, lightweight machine that you would be willing to carry everyday (trust me, if it is desktop replacement sized, you will not want to carry it daily). In exchange for being in a smaller box, you now pay much much more and lose the cheap upgradability that is great for the poor student.

Instead of winning on two fronts, you lose on both.
