The only downside to my laptop is the battery life, which is like five hours tops.

it depends on your use...

i'll be using a laptop as my main, but that's because i know how to harness it's power. If you dont, use a desktop as your main

I wouldn't go for a laptop as a main computer. They usually run a little worse, they overheat, they don't have as many external ports (like USB), and they're more expensive! If you're planning on being portable with your computer, go laptop. Otherwise, buy a desktop.

The only real benefit of a laptop is it's mobility, otherwise a desktop for the same price is always better.

I have a laptop, but I also take it to class everyday and to meetings with my clients. Otherwise, I would have a desktop.

I use a desktop, but only because I don't have the money for a laptop. If I did, I would buy a laptop instead.
