Ok let me clarify, I admit the laptop would be for more recreational purposes than educational. I bought a new desktop last summer, I was thinking of getting a laptop so I could take it to the library with me and have it handy and hook it up into the ethernet while I was "studying". My desktop I would then give to my sister cause that's how nice and generous I am. Besides I'm in medical school, I'm gonna be so much in debt by the time that I graduate that I'll have to work my ass off to pay back the education!
