<p>I can’t speak about computing power and all that kind of stuff…but when I visited a friend of the family in college, she had a laptop and her roommate had a desktop…and it was a monster. I mean, it was just a regular computer, but they were at PennState and crammed into the smallest dorm room I’ve ever seen, and the fact that the one girl had a laptop made a huge difference, space-wise. College is all about being compact.</p>
<p>Definitely not the greatest factor in your decision, but something to consider.</p>
