Anyone that went to university, is a desktop practical?
I'm looking for a new computer and as I'll be going to university in little over a year I was wondering, is a desktop practical at university? I'd quite like a desktop over a laptop because you get so mush more power for your money but I'm worried about it getting stolen or if I'd need a laptop to take to classes/lectures and things.
So is there anyone that went to university (particularly in england) that had a desktop or felt they really needed a laptop?
(Re: The chance of it being stolen, I hope to go somewhere like Cambridge or Warwick, which I think have relatively low crime rates (and I hope to have a single room (which would certainly be the case at Cambridge) but it still seems like a possibility.)
