I'd suggest a desktop...
Laptops are very usefull, and you'll have dreams of taking them to every class, never having to rewrite notes again, and generally having a ball
1. You'll stop taking it to class, its too heavy and you never manage to even bring your books, or get all the way dressed..
2. Laptops are very easily damaged by things spilled on them. And no matter how good you are at not spilling on them, someone else will always beat you to it.
3. Studying at the local coffee shop can be done just as easily without the laptop. Mostly my laptop ends up being a distraction
OR
buy a nice desktop, and a second hand laptop. You can usually find second hand old laptops for a couple hundred bucks
