A 14 year old girl was naked in her room and using FaceTime on her laptop and talking to an older boy that I know. Depends on how much you trust your daughter.
Aside from whether or not she may misuse the computer, you also run into the fact that it is a distraction that can keep her up late (even if just chatting innocently online). At this age, the kids need sleep. Would you rather her be upset that her computer is downstairs, or upset because her grades are slipping from being fatigued at school. 14 year old kids aren't known for decision making or impulse control. Parents are responsible for setting boundaries when the teen's judgement is impaired.

i learned how to deal with no sleep in high school, which allowed me to dominate college. all the protected kids who didn't learn how to budget their time lost their mind (i literally saw them have meltdowns at points in honors college). i get your overall point, but you have to remember that high school is used to allow kids to develop methods to study, live, make decisions, etc that will make their college career easier.
