A Laptop is useless If you are taking any hard science, engineering or maths course. You simply cannot take down diagrams and formulae fast enough.
That said I saw some guys try, using latex, but even they had to resort to paper for any diagram more complex than an arrow or two.
Stick with your current desktop for now, but I would recommend buying extra storage now, as you will fill your hd in a week once you get a fat pipe to your dorm.
I don't know one person with a Mac, but everyone I know can use Real's service (well, if they want to run windows). Doesn't matter how much cheaper apples when its not even available to 99% of the market.

Well,
Don't forget SATA
or even SATA-II sometime soon, which could be pretty much as fast as SCSI
Good advice,

Apple need to get their collective asses in gear.
