What should I get: A desktop or a laptop?

I always buy desk top, however I am using my girlfriends laptop right now, it's ok so long as I use a mouse, that pad thing drives my crazy.

I'm not an Apple fanboy or anything, but MacBooks are made of aluminum casing, and can withstand a good beating... I've dropped mine from 2-3 feet up, multiple times, and it still works perfect. Also once I dropped a hot light bulb on it, from about 7 feet up right onto the section where the hard drive is located. Left a small dent but otherwise no damage.

On the flip side, I've had both an Acer Aspire 15" laptop (some model from 2010) and a Toshiba Satellite laptop from 2007, dropped them a foot from the ground and the hard drives instantly gave me the click of death.

Laptop

Samsung laptop running Windows 8, get ready for problems. Not because of the laptop, it's windows 8

If you are going to use for everyday purpose (light - medium use) than a laptop is good .

but if you're going to play games a laptop won't stand near a pc even of same configuration

if you are in to playing games a desktop is a better experience than a laptop

laptop

laptop, since its portable.
