You need to assess what you want your computer for, where and why you might want to use it. Only then can you determine whether you want a desktop or a laptop. Why do you need portability?

Realistically, the size of laptop you are looking at there, isn't that portable. It's big and bulky. Yes you can fold the screen down when not in use, but it's not really a massive space saver. If you are thinking of travelling it's weight alone, might become an issue.

MB has covered most of the key pros and cons. For me it is upgradeability of desktops. You can get a similar spec desktop to the lappy you are looking at for a lot less money. Put that money in the bank and you can afford to replace your desktop earlier than you would the lappy.
