aight im going off to university next year and i dunno if i should get a desktop PC or a laptop.

my campus wouldnt be wireless

things i would use it for
burning cd's and dvd's
running programs like photoshop, arcview, acid music
maybe gaming


laptops cost so much more compared to what u get in the system (1.6ghz latop vs. 3ghz pc, almost same price)

im just lost, any insight?

with a laptop you can:
takes notes in class
take it with you to work in the library
work outside when writing papers so you can get out of your room (you'll understand when you get there)
set up wireless and use that
watch movies in bed
watch movies on plane/train/automobile

with a desktop you can:
save money, and get something better
constantly upgrade parts
play sweet games

you dont really need a laptop. i thought i did, but its expensive as hell, and you cant replace shit in a laptop unless you wanna pay ridiculous prices. just take notes with binders and transfer em if you need. there's not many people that bring laptops to class anyways, unless your rich and money doesn't really matter.

Buy a laptop from dell.com I bought mine there.
I have a del latitude D505. It rocks


frozen spermy pops isnt really food. more like an appetizer before atlantaski's mom takes a huge dump on his dads face then he comes in and sticks in the dick in the shit while his mom sucks him off. now that would be the most hardcore incested sex scene of all time. it would be the dirtiest ass to mouth scene but without the anal penetration - Laterials

it depends how cool you are first and foremost. if you don't have many friends then a laptop probably wont be neccesary. if you need a computer for you classes/life and youe always out and about get a laptop. Really how much money do you have to spend? if it's not at least 1200 get a desktop.

a laptop is the only way to go, but make sure you get it hooked up with wireless internet. but another con is that laptops can definately get stolen way more easier than a desktop, and if you are a slow typer than you don't want to use a laptop to take notes. a pro is that if your roomate always has people in your dorm, or if your dorm is always loud and crowded then you can just take it outside or to the library to work on stuff... either way you def. need a computer for college, don't depend on the school's computers, they're scary.

oh, and if you decide to get a laptop make sure to get a nice one, don't get a lower model or whatever just because it costs less

alright, look. Do you want to have a portable dvd/mp3/word processor? if the answer is yes, then shell out the extra money...on the long run, its worth it...you can always buy a desktop later...

Laptop. Period. Buying a desktop for university is quite possibly the biggest waste of money you could participate in. How do I know? I made the mistake myself.







Bahahaha... or, you could call it the 'elitist snob' cult. Anyways, my family already owns a country club, so no thanks.

i love being able to take my computer anywhere (not that i do). but yeah, other than the fact that laptops can get stolen easier, i'd say they're the way to go for university.
