I usually type much faster than I do write, sometimes typing can be as fast as speaking, and I’ve never seen anyone doing so writing
Desktops are good for people who is tech-savvy, but this same people is often the people who wants to take their computers with themselves the whole day, so it’s 50/50
You should point out what’s for real: they’re cheaper (no exceptions), can have more specific parts (like the ultimate 3d video card or super sound system) and can’t be stolen that easy, but a laptop is not so expensive nowadays I think.. And they definitely lack a 4gb-ram option which will be common in near future thanks to Vista

I can see your reason for writing this, but the points are off the mark.
laptops are as powerful as desktops, they have all the memory you need for all the apps you will run in college, you can get laptops for a good price, my wife and many many other students DO write notes in class and ace their degrees thanks to writing everything down and not on a paper that can (and does) get lost. I have a 6 years old laptop that still works so basically - only your last point is a valid one.

Yea, i kinda disagree w/ this…. I got my Mac Book Pro, a month later my PC desktop was in pieces in my closet
My laptop is just so much more convenient

Desktops are better in the respect that if you need to replace a component, you don’t have to spend almost as much as the laptop costs to get the replacement motherboard because most every device is integrated. DESKTOPS FTW

Blah blah blah. My laptops better than my desktop :D. If you need more space for music you can always get an external hard drive being that its just a little over 100$ for a 500GB. And who has room for a big clunky computer case and monitor in a dorm? When you can just sit at your bed or outside, or at a friends place, or at your desk and have all the space you would ever need.
