<p>My d will be a freshman at Cornell in Hotel and will have a laptop. Will she need her own printer or are labs and printers readily available to all students?
Thanks</p>
<p>theres a printing fee in the labs...</p>
<p>$.10 a page...hmmm wouldn't it probably be better to bring a printer?! you'll have it in your room so it's convenient/ cheaper ! I might just steal the one at my house and bring it with lol</p>
<p>Get a printer. It will pay off in the long run. Some professors will assign reading materials online so unless you can read a lot of text online, you'll want to print them out. The amount that you print depends on your major too. Personally, I print about 50-100 pages a month.</p>
<p>Where in your dorm is there space for a printer? I dont exactly wanna clog up my desk with it...
If there's a good spot for printers in the dorms, what is the max size of a printer that would fit there? (I just purchased a canon all-in-one and am a little worried it is too big for the dorms)</p>
<p>if you have a laptop your desk should have plenty of space for your avg all-in one printer...</p>
<p>Desk usually works, as does floor near printer if it's really big - also depends on how you set up the room, where you are, etc. You'll figure out what works best when you get there.</p>
<p>I have another question, relating to this topic. Is it a bad thing that the computer I plan to bring doesn't quite match up to the minimal requirements? It has a Intel Dual Core Processor, but it is only 1.6 Ghz (lower than the 1.8 minimal). Should I be concerned/bring another computer?</p>
<p>Having a printer saved my perfectly sculpted butt* alot of money from printing the library and it also saved my bold sexy eyes* from excessive strain with all of the reading I was assigned from online sources. I use the same black and white lazer that I've always used - get a lazer as you'll be able to print off loads and loads of stuff w/o running out of ink and w/o wasting time as pages slowly print off line by line. Don't worry about color. Since I found my printer in a cave, it's very big and old ... but I just stuck it under my bed so it didn't take up any wasted space on my desk or dresser. </p>

<p>Generic, don't worry about your CPU requirements.</p>
<p>Core Duos are powerful processors and you can't go by clockspeed alone nowadays. Performance-wise, a 1.66 gHz Core-Duo can easily match a 2.8 gHz Pentium 4 at a fraction of energy consumed and heat evolved.</p>
<p>Your Core Duo can handle it no problem.</p>
