This is a common question and is best summed up with another question: Is mobility important to you? The ONLY true advantage a laptop provides is mobility. You will almost always get more bang for your buck out of a desktop computer because they don't have to worry about fitting into a small space, extreme heat, or low power. Furthermore, you'll spend a great deal more getting a laptop repaired than you will a desktop because laptops primarily use "proprietary" hardware or hardware that is specific to that machine. That means if you need a new motherboard you have to find one that fits specifically into that computer. With a desktop you can put almost any motherboard in and fit it with a new processor and RAM. The bottom line is, don't bother with a laptop unless you NEED mobility.

Well, I would buy a pc, why?
Because the pc is faster than a laptop, more graphics, better resolution (depends on the monitor,too) or... laptops are useless in the house,
Good luck

Laptops more mobility good for students and lectures, taking down notes. Provides some gaming. You can get a HP Laptop for $800 at Best Buy.
Desktops: More gaming power, easier to fix and upgrade, more storage.

I prefer laptops more. Not only is it more practical in school, but even at home. You can just pick it up & carry it anywhere. It's awesome when traveling too.

You don't need a laptop unless you can't live without computer mobility.
