Do i need a laptop If I have a pc already

1.

Note taking and commuting.
Are you happy taking notes by hand in lectures? A Chromebook should be perfectly fine for note taking but for anything else, it might struggle. It is also a hassle to connect to the University internet sometimes! If you want to use a laptop for any other purpose, consider investing in one. If you often like studying or doing work in Cafe's or social spaces, a laptop is a must. I must admit my life got a lot easier when I got one as I could take it out and work anywhere, including on the train.

Portability.
If you often like studying or doing work in Cafe's or social spaces, a laptop is a must. I must admit my life got a lot easier when I got one as I could take it out and work anywhere, including on the train. If you store all your work on the Uni drives (cloud based and recommended), you can do work from anywhere really!

University labs.
Do all the labs have the software you need? Sometimes you have to take additional measures sadly to speed things up. With a laptop you can download your own files, software and extensions you may not have admin access for in Uni labs. If you are fine with using what is already there, then don't worry, otherwise you can customise a lot more on your own device... including practicing without worrying that something might go wrong (context: cyber is fun 🙂)
