Desktop = More power for the money, if you build it yourself, or buy a prebuilt.

Laptop = Take it anywhere

If you're just going to do school work, internet, and just the general without anything demanding, I'd say just get a laptop and save the rest for something else. And like BlackGA said, it's portable.

I would say only get a laptop if you really need the portability. Others say only get a desktop if you really need the extra power.
