New Computer

I am currently researching what type of computer I should get for law school.  On the law school’s Web site, it lists the things I should look for when buying one, and even tells me that I need to get a laptop.  Though desktops are less expensive, I can understand why they require us to have laptops.  I am sure it is so we can do research in the library without overcrowding the computer labs during exam prep time, or maybe we will need them in class.  When I sat in on a couple of law classes, everyone took notes on the computer, so maybe I should try it too.  This just adds even more to the initial expenses of law school.  I want a good computer, but it seems the better it is, the price goes up by leaps and bounds.  I am sure I will find a happy medium, but it just takes a lot of searching.
