Unlike what you hear, I don't think most students take as much notes on a laptop as tv and other media would seem to portray. Of course there are the handful of class rooms loaded with students typing notes into a laptop during a lecture but in my experience it's an over exaggerated stereotype. Not to say the laptop wasn't handy when I was in college. I used it most everyday, I did alot of typing of papers while at school with it as well as used programs that aided with labs and my course. Personally I'd say a laptop is a pretty good school supply generally and a space saver for a dorm going student over having a full size desktop in the dorm room. On the other hand, laptops aren't required to get things done in college (at least not yet) so it is possible to live without one for most students. You really gotta attend your classes and decide for yourself if a laptop is worth the money.
