<p>so do most people at nyu have laptops or desktops? and is it a good idea, or necessary, to have both? because i have a laptop now and was planning on buying a desktop when i got to nyu.</p>
<p>Sorry, but I'm not sure I understand why you would have both? A laptop is ideal. You can keep it hooked up at home, and take it with you to the library or to class if need be.</p>
<p>i like having both because my laptop isnt fast and has a small hard drive... so the desktop would be for storing things like pictures, movies and whatnot....while my laptop would be mainly for working</p>
<p>In that case, I would save the money you would spend on a desktop for a new, faster laptop...</p>
<p>my laptop is brand new... i chose to go for the small size and light weight instead of a lot of RAM.... dont get me wrong i have a great laptop i just think it would be nice to have both.</p>
<p>About 95% of students have a laptop and of those about 25% of those are Macs.</p>
<p>i'm pretty sure nyu requires laptops</p>
<p>No, NYU does not require laptops. However, as was previously said, most students have laptops. There's no need to have a desktop as well. Keep in mind that your space is going to be limited so why have both? It's pretty pointless.</p>
<p>so mac or pc?</p>
<p>I'd say Mac... even most of NYU's public computers are Macs.</p>
