question about computers/laptops in college

<p>I am still very unfamilar with the college scene so here is my question.</p>

<p>If I attend a college out of state, I will need a computer to use. Do most college students have 2 computers? a laptop plus a desktop computer? or do they just have a laptop where they carry around to the library or classes and back to the dorm for homework uses.</p>

<p>The college I’m hoping to attend is very homework-heavy, so I’m hoping to have a computer screen of 17" so I wouldn’t strain my eyes. What is the general recommendations from college students when it comes to computer. Are there any computer recommendations given that cost is not a major factor? Oh and I really don’t like Apple computers.</p>

<p>What you could do is get a laptop and then get an extra monitor to get a bigger screen.</p>
