Don't know if it's too late, but I went all through undergrad with just a desktop. Some of my roommates had laptops, others didn't. When it came to grad school I got a laptop. I did used it to take notes in class, but where it came in most handy for me was in situations where my room was too much distraction to do work. With the laptop you can pick up and head to the library, or you can bring it to group projects, etc. Very, very useful in my experience, especially with the widespread use of wireless on campus these days. I highly suggest one if possible having been through both experiences.
