I got one last year, I'm tipping on it now. My PC was out-dated (bought it in 2000) so I was given the choice to buy a new one or a laptop. Since I was going to university I decided for the laptop.Funny enough my PC energy system went puff, so for manymonths now I only use my laptop. Funny enough I never brought it to college, haven't needed it there so far. Since I'm still living at home and communting to college it's not a big deal, but if I ever need to take it, it won't be a problem.
