<p>I'm trying to decide what computers I should get for next year at Cornell. I'll be in the School Engineering, probably doing computer science, maybe some web design stuff.</p>
<p>I'm wondering what would be the best option. I've a laptop, but I also want to build a desktop myself to use. Would having both be an overkill?</p>
<p>Well, definitely bring a laptop - you can take it to your lectures and carry it around with you.
Maybe use that desktop as a server if you plan to bring it? Would there be enough room in the dorm, though, cause that’s the big question.</p>
<p>Dudeee, im CS in CoE too. I also built my desktop but im not bringing it, only my laptop. I don’t think its overkill unless shipping it there is a pain. Once your desktop is in your dorm it should be fine.</p>
