I'm currently in college and have a laptop, I've never had a problem with anyone trying to steal it or having anyone spill crap on it, the only reason I wish I had a desktop would be for a larger hard drive, but that has nothing to do with school work. I don't take my laptop to classes, the sound of me typing would likely get on other students nerves, and bother the professor. My laptop works just fine for programming, and I haven't had any real problems with it bogging down that I haven't also experienced with a desktop. Although I must say that the main reason I have a laptop is because I go home every weekend and it would be rather inconvenient for me to move a desktop that much. As far as I've been able to determine a laptop is just as good as a desktop when it comes to school work, the only difference is in space taken up, and portability(along with the problems caused by the portability). And if your worried about the laptop taking abuse, well, I've droped mine down a stairway, it was in a soft sided case, and it still works just fine, I checked the owners manual and it's apparently rated for a 160 g shock when off.
Oh, yeah, I have a Dell Inspiron 5100
