It's a complete personal choice. Portability vs upgradability (and many more things). i'm too an engineering student and I myself purchased a desktop instead of a laptop when I took admission in college. Now, after 2 years, I (very) slightly feel the NEED of a laptop. For small tasks such as displaying a presentation etc, you can use friend's laptop. So, first decide how much does portability matters to you. I vote for desktop :p
