You may ask: Why a laptop, which generally costs twice as much as a comparable desktop computer?
A quick Google search of many schools' minimum requirements shows the majority of colleges and universities recommend students bring laptops.
Laptops have certain advantages. They're portable and fit easily in cramped dorms. Students can carry them between classes and to the library. Most new laptops also include built-in wireless networking — a favorite network technology on many campuses, allowing students to seamlessly tap into the college or university computer system.
Consider your son or daughter's major when you shop. An engineering or architecture student needs a more powerful computer than an English major.
