Re: Best Cost/Quality Desktop system for a college freshman

Mark -

I would still buy the laptop instead of a desktop computer, even if he can't 
carry it around to his classes.  It will be much easier to handle in his 
room, and will use much less real estate in his room, and will be much 
easier at moving time at the beginning and end of the semester.

There are also some great accessories available for laptops like this laptop 
table that will allow him to use it anywhere in the room:

(I bought one that was somewhat similar at Target for around $30.00.  I'll 
find the manufacturer name and post it later...)
