Just how handy is a laptop for college?
I have a decent enough desktop PC that I will be brining to college, but am still considering getting a laptop.
But I want to know from people firsthand how useful their laptop ended up being to them?
The only real use I can see for it would be easier note taking, but I have two points I'm concerned about. First, I don't take too many notes in the first place. Secondly, typing them out doesn't help retention as well as writing them by hand does.
It might also be nice since I can bring it to the library and take all my work with me in one nice package, but it might also distract me there when I try to study (I get distracted pretty easily).
So how have people's experience been with a laptop during college?
