I would get a laptop so you you can do the things like I'm doing now. I'm currently sitting in the skybridge of the U. of Washington's Suzallo library, in one of those comfy sofa things, resting my feet on a chair. You can't do that with a desktop.

As for switching to a Mac, it's quite nice. The printer will work out of the box, internet connection is a snap, and it's just all around well-made. You'll say to yourself, "Why can't Windows work like this?"
