What laptop do most students use?

Well see, having an “option” is only useful if you use it. This will vary from person to person, but in my case, I NEVER TOOK it out of my room. So lets “pretend” I spent X amount of dollars for mobility that I never needed and never used, that is just wasted money.

Yeah, that theft thing didn’t really work out huh. I think people that would steal your laptop would most likely be people you “kind of know, but not really”, so they would have a chance of calibrating your laptop’s value a bit. But it is unlikely that another student is going to jack you @ UCLA anyways. My friend left his wallet on the racks @ de neve dining hall for 3 days and no one even touched it.

I just personally hate laptops because you lack freedom to do whatever the hell you want when it comes to hardware. Plus I am an overclocking junkie, I know I talked about how you don’t need that much power, but I do it purely for the sake of doing it, not for the extra juice. Would have gottten a desktop if I known better. Just my opinion though.
