Is it better to have a laptop or a desk top to do online college courses?

I want to study online to start getting my teaching degree, so I'm just wondering is it better to have a laptop or a desktop. If you have taken online courses what was the advantage of having either. Thank you.

    it really depends on you and your schedule. a desktop will not give you any advantages over a lap top or vice versa.

    if you will be working mainly from home or work, then a desktop should work fine. if you may be traveling, or working from different areas, then you might want to consider a laptop.

    I would say laptop too.
    You can carry notes to everywhere you go.

    i’ve only taken history and government classes online through a community college over the summer but i dont think it really matter. all you need the computer for is to print out chapter questions or the syllabus. But i wouldnt know how other classes would work.

    it depends on how you want to use it.

    laptops can go anywhere with you– if you want to carry them with you, like to class.
    but that means thay are prey to dropping and tend to reak more often.

    Desktops break much less often, but you really can’t carry them around easily.

    Having a laptop is a lot easier because you can have it with you all the time. The downfall is the battery life isn’t always great, or you may not be able to access the internet all the time. But having a laptop got me through college!

    Laptop or a desktop does not matter as long as you can go online and have a printer hooked up to it.

    Most college students, nowadays, use laptops.

    Your entire teaching degree cannot be done, strickly, online. You will have to do classwork, as well.

    i do online courses …. and i have a laptop … i think its a great help…i can bring it anywhere i go, to a coffee shop, library, to the park, or while watching tv @ my house (those are the place i do my homework mostly) .. it just offers alot more convience.

    who do u do ur courses with…with a traditional university??..or an complete online college–if yes which?? (just curious)

    Laptop – like whatever one is saying you can take it anywhere you want to but it is more likely to be stolen, lost, or drop.
