Bringing desktop AND laptop to res?
For all you laptop owners, are you also bringing your desktop with it as well?
I was thinking of just bringing the monitor and connect my laptop to it so I can have a bigger screen.. but I'm thinking that if I bring the monitor I might as well bring my desktop too...
What do most people do?
(sorry if this is in the wrong section)

It doesnt really matter, but remember with a desktop, thats less desk space you will have to do work. If you have a laptop, its more than enough

Yea, ill have to agree. No need for two computers.
Unless your a gamer/designer/video editor and need the processing power of a desktop. |

I was in LP , double room last year. I brought both. The laptop was great for classes (and I'm in eng.) and the desktop with a 24" monitor was both a TV replacement, and a great way to kick butt on the design project for 1C03. My desktop is an utter beast though: Had waaaaay more ower than the laptop. If the desktop and laptop are spec'd about the same, it might be a little more up in the air...

hey andrew! i only brought a laptop to res in first year and so did my roomate and it worked out perfectly! she got a 11'' b/c she brought it to class a lot and didn't want one that was too heavy and i had a 15'' which i never brought to class once and it worked out well too. it all depends on what YOU want. i know a few ppl who brought the desktop too but in my opinion it takes up wayy too much space on the desk and it's kind of unnecessary.
hope this helps!  |

Too much crap to have to worry about 1st year.. unless you want to keep your desktop in your room to download from DC++ 24/7, while you bring the laptop to class, LMAO
