I LOVE MY LAPTOP.
Would not think of living without it. If your needs don't require a large, bulky, standard system's increased capacities, I recommend going for a laptop. And make good use of it, too! It will become your best friend. It's also more energy efficient and cuts down the elecricity bill, which I suppose wouldn't be of much use if you're in a dorm.
In any case, the portability of a laptop and the ability to TYPE YOUR NOTES really really makes a difference. Especially when you're planning on sharing those notes.
I have enjoyed my laptops (been through 2 in my college career) and wouldn't trade their utility for the world.
I guess they're not for everyone though. I did have one friend in the dorms a few years back who never took her laptop anywhere, used the computer labs on campus for all of her work. She didn't like the tiny keyboard. My response: get a secondary standard-sized keyboard! Silly. In any case, I recommend a secondary keyboard, laptops do tend to go through keyboards quickly, and they're a beast to replace.
