While I barely had a computer when I was in University (used my girlfriend's Tandy 1000 running DOS and that was only from third year on) I would say from my experience in owning a laptop that it is especially convenient to be able to work pretty much anywhere.
I would have appreciated being able to write an essay in the library or being able to write it in a spare period rather than having to wait until I returned home.
Time management.
By the way... I would have still taken my notes by hand.
