Oh totally, in fact I would actually take that to a new level and say it's not even worth it to purchase a laptop in this day and age at all, save the money for a superior desktop computer and just get a chromebook if you really need something to take notes on in University etc. Laptops to me just feel like a mess when it comes to heat dispersion and driver support, although I'm not one to really talk, I do own a Macbook and absolutely love it for college (I'm in a media design course) but tbh I only bring it to about 2 classes a week, otherwise I just use the computers we have in the production lab. If I could go back to 2014 when i bought it I would definitely convince myself to look at other options and spend the extra money on my desktop instead.
