Laptop or Desktop for university?

I'd say take your laptop, but then again I'm a PS gamer, not a PC one (well, apart from Sims ). I'm always taking my laptop with me - if not to lectures (my course isn't exactly theory-heavy just yet) then to the library or to social areas to study and write essays with my friends, and honestly it's really helped.

Hey there, I'm just about to do my exams and head into second year, and yes, I'd say take your desktop with you. You will have it of spare time and as a fellow gamer id advice that to you its also handy to type up all your notes so you can sort and manage everything online rather than having bits of paper flying about, saves you from buying folders etc Goodluck!

The problem with me is that i don't think i would like to be carrying a laptop around with me all day haha. Maybe i could get a cheap netbook in the future if i feel a need for the portability.



If i wasnt going to be taking my desktop i would be taking my console + TV so it would still take up alot of room. I see a desktop as an all-in-one sort of thing. Did you have that much time in your first year for gaming? i hear that in the second and third years there won't be any time for it, which may sway my decision towards laptop.

First year you do have alooot of spare time.. couple of assignments every ow and then and that's it. 2nd and 3rd year it will be harder for sire, but there will still be time to do other things. you wont be working at all times. My sister is doing her masters degree now ans she said her second year consisted of watching tv series and playing Xbox xd 3rd year you have a dissertation to write (in most modules) which does take alot of time away, so maybe a laptop for third year will be better, but Tbh, my sister said if you keep on top of your work you still have some time free in 3rd year too. Hope this helps.
