How do laptops figure into the equation for you guys? What kind do you have? Use them in class, for studying, what?

When I started I decided that upgrading my desktop and getting a nice PDA would be cheaper than getting a laptop but still sufficient for what I wanted to do. Basically, I can carry around/edit word, excel, and powerpoint files for studying, as well as multiple review books on my PDA. I'd say splurge and buy a nice PDA (palm's tungsten t3 for example is great for looking at excel and powerpoint files), which will cost you 1/4 the price of a new laptop.Originally posted by dara678
Would you say that a laptop is absolutely necessary? I have a good desktop that works fine, so I was wondering if it's a good idea to splurge and buy another computer ...
