In my second year at college, and I currently have a home-desktop machine that I use for most CPU / power intensive tasks, like burning, etc. and then a light, PentiumIII older laptop that I carry with me to classes, etc. It works nicely for the most part. I highly reccomend getting a laptop however. Having a desktop as well is a bit of an added luxury / bonus.
Pencil / paper is generally the best way to take notes still - but occasionally the laptop comes in handy.
