unless you have no alternative - because of space restrictions and/or travelling - i cant recommend laptops to anyone. i hate them.
i work in IT support and know 1st hand that laptops have an insane failure rate over deskops worse than 20 to one. the lifespan is 3 times longer too.
the harddrive isnt cooled enough and they fail like clockwork.
plus they cant be upgraded easily .. .the memory is more expensive, as are the harddrives, etc.
i could write a much longer note about this ... but it sounds liek you have your heart set on a laptop.
if you're doing graphics mainly - people always say get a mac.
if you're getting anything else you might as well get a dell.

Yeah, Derek's laptop failed really quickly but I figured it was just because he plays a lot of games. I will look into getting a desktop, and maybe I can rent a laptop from the school. Some schools do that so I hope mine does. I just don't want to be stuck hand typing notes. I would definately like something I can upgrade so maybe a desktop is a better idea. Thanks Urge.
