depends on your major
if ur doing something w/ a lot of notes, history or law or something you'll want a laptop sometimes
you should just go w/ the flow im sure it won't be like in legally blonde when shes in a lecture and everyone has laptops and she has a lil notepad

but o yea she was a law major huh ;D

no, you dont need a laptop. most people use pen&paper for notes anyway. laptops are a convenience, but you do need a pc.

no you don't. which is more likely: taking notes on computer or lan parties in the dorm? and desktops are better for lan parties.

no, you don't necessarily need a laptop, but if you were to go to the library to study or something, a laptop might be better.... plus if your college is far away, its really difficult to bring a desktop on a plane ride tongue.gif

You don't need one, but it certainly will come in handy for typing up papers and taking notes. I tend to write rather slowly or get hand cramps during lectures, so I prefer to type. Then again, I learn the information more when I write it down for some reason. Both options have their pros and cons. If getting a laptop isn't a financial issue for you, I'd say go for it. They're worth it--although it may not seem so with the recent deal with laptops going up in flames because of those damn Sony batteries. Hmph.
