Just got my new laptop.

My school REQUIRES a laptop.

Really Dusk? (I had no idea that the kid was in a IT school)

I wanna get a VAIO. But congrats on the laptop, and early happy birthday.

Notebook Requirement

Georgia Tech requires all entering undergraduate students to own a notebook computer.

Just found out the internet connection in my room is kind of unstable. Oh, and that I'm not completely broke (although I only have like ~€100 left and I have no income).

1 more hour until seriously nothing changes! (Here it's legal to drink/drive a motorcycle at 16(although doing both at the same time isn't), driving a car/stronger drinks/pretty much everything else comes at 18. 17 is boring according to most of my friends.)

So that's where the "Tech" comes from! Mandatory laptop requirements!

Well, here in the Netherlands we have this thing called "Informatica" which is basically IT, CS and some other stuff under one single name, which branches of later on(at the place I go to, that is). Most people just stay in the general area for the first few months(you have to choose your direction after 10 weeks) but they gave everyone the option to be put in a "Game Developement" class beforehand(which I did)(you can still switch later). Apparently we're not going to do a lot with graphics in the first year, but I'm planning to get a good desktop as soon as possible. I also have to sit in the train for at least 2 hours a day(Amsterdam is a freaking expensive place when it comes to finding a place to live) so having a laptop might allow me to do some work while I'm traveling. That and I have to cope with the fact that the router is in the living room and the printer is at the other side of the house(while my bedroom is in a totally different spot) so having a desktop would be impractical(in my house, that is). B>campus for the HvA(Hogeschool van Amsterdam, which translates into Highschool of Amsterdam, but the Dutch school system is weird like that).

Game Development sounds desktop worthy.
