A couple of points, just random things that came to mind while reading this, some positive, some negative...
1) More and more universities are requiring laptops. Mine does--all incoming freshman have to have one that meets certain standards.
2) It's nice being able to work wherever--library, coffee shop, even in class if you arent getting anything out of it.
3) Watch out for distractions. I tend to be easily distracted, so I have to make sure not to take my laptop out in class, or I'll spend the whole time goofing off instead of paying attention.
4) Most of the time, pen and paper is better for taking notes.
5) Some classes (at least at my school) are setup for a notebook. Many classes use software that you'll want to be able to use in class. There are quite a few at my school that even have the tests on the student's laptops, in the class.
6) If your laptop is too heavy to carry to class, you probably bought the wrong laptop. Laptops are meant to be carried around, not to be desktop replacements. Don't buy one of the ones that weighs 13 pounds and has a TV sized screen.
