ok heres my dilemma
i am doing 1st yr eng(biomedical)/com and i hear that engineering is quite computer orientated. I wanna buy a computer but am unsure whether to buy a desktop or laptop. I dont really wanna spend more than $1500. Do engneering students need a fast computer to run the programs like matlab, cad and whatver else there is?
I can basically get quite a decent desktop or a not as fast laptop.... i am trying to weigh up the pro's and cons of each. Also if i get a desktop i will have to spend another couple of hundred setting up the adsl in my room so thats another factor.
ANY ADVICE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!
