In September I'll be heading off to University, and I can't decide whether to take my PC or not. Most people would easily say no and just settle with a casual laptop, but for me my PC is something I use heavily, especially for games which is one of my hobbies in spare time. My course is also computing based, so in some cases I might need the high spec, and I've grown very accustomed to working on dual monitors.
On the other hand the University will have computing facilities (although not in my room of course), and unless I get insurance leaving a full tower gaming PC in my room might be risky, not to mention moving the thing will be a lot of effort.
Nonetheless I'll have to get myself a cheap laptop for portability to and from classes/lectures, but I just don't know if I could cope using a tiny laptop screen daily with a much lower spec. As sad as it sounds I do enjoy using my PC, and I'd be without any games during my time at University. Hopefully this doesn't make me look snobby, I know University requires sacrifices, I'm just unsure whether it's justifiable or not.
What do you guys think? And sorry for the long post.
