Laptop for sure. Desktops are impractical if she's going to be living in a dorm, especially if it's with a CRT monitor. Most people moving into the dorms this year had issues with not having anywhere to fit a CRT monitor because they would not fit on the desks provided for us. As for the issue of theft, I haven't heard of it happening to anyone, and I don't know of a problem going on with such a thing. Most people don't have issues with theft in dorms because many people make friends in the dorms, and such. Overall, as long as she practices common sense (keeping the door to the room locked, not leaving it out in the open unattended at say the library or something) there shouldn't be a problem.

One day an Englishman, a Scotsman, and an Irishman walked into a pub together. They each bought a pint of Guinness. Just as they were about to enjoy their creamy beverage, three flies landed in each of their pints. The Englishman pushed his beer away in disgust. The Scotsman fished the fly out of his beer and continued drinking it, as if nothing had happened. The Irishman, too, picked the fly out of his drink but then held it out over the beer and yelled "SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT, YOU BASTARD!"
