<p>are you guys brining your computer, labtop, or both
i find that labtops are handy but in dorms, i think i'd rather use my computer so i won't kill my precious labtop. so i tihnk i'm bringing both.
what about you?</p>
<p>most people have laptops OR desktops, not both. i'd say about 90% or more of students have laptops, and i find mine very convenient b/c i can take it anywhere. class, plane, library, and any other place i want. i guess you could bring both if you want, but its kind of pointless.</p>
<p>ps--its laptop with a p ;)</p>
<p>I'm gonna get a Sony Vaio SZ240 (13" laptop). I want to take it around with me so that's why I got it so small.</p>
<p>BRING A LAPTOP 15IN. OR LESS</p>
<p>You won't regret it.</p>
<p>I was going to go desktop because of the cheaper price, but then I decided to get a laptop because it's a big pain to transport the desktop on a plane. I guess if you live really close to Stanford desktop might be an okay option.</p>
<p>I wholly agree that you should bring a labtop. After all, you wouldn't want the chem or bio lab to assign you a communal labspace, and if you have your own labtop, that won't be an issue.
Of course, they may make you set your labtop up in a non-ventilated area or, god forbid, outdoors.</p>
<p>Guys stop calling em labtops-leave angel88 alone :P
Would you recommend a portable la*p*top around 13" or larger?</p>
<p>Ugh, I sure hope my my acquaintances headed to berkeley don't get ahold of this thread... I would never hear an end to the taunting.</p>
<p>I have a Dell Inspiron 600m which comes with a 14.1" screen and weighs about 5 pounds. I connect it to a 19" LCD on my desk, so I get the best of both worlds - portability and screen size.</p>
<p>Thanks im_blue I'm planning to do pretty similar

I can see it now, headlines in their newspapers read:
