Re: Desktop+Netbook vs laptop for college
Desktop + Netbook
You can also upgrade/repair the desktop easily over time. Add hard drives for more space, hook up a dual monitor setup (once you have one for longer than a week going back will feel like its slowing you down so much).
Plus most laptops and netbooks except the very high-end ones won't stand up to 4 years of constant use. At least if you burn through a netbook, you can replace it cheaply.
Desktop
