What laptop do most students use?

im just saying that i think for most students, the option of portability is far more useful and appealing than the performance edge desktops have. sure you get more ‘bang for your buck’ with a desktop, but i bet if you survey students on campus im sure you will find an overwhelming majority that will without question ‘pay the premium’ for the convenience of a laptop over a desktop.

jinobi, i actually think laptops are quickly becoming (if they’re not already…dont know the stats) the default computer for the average consumer, not just something students take to campus. people dont like being chained to their desks. everything now is all about wireless access and portability. being able to surf the web anywhere in their house (or outside their house, for that matter) without wires has a huge appeal to buyers. that can also be seen with the huge boom in PDAs and smartphones in the recent years.
