You should go for a Laptop ONLY if you need it... Say you travel a lot because of your job and you need to stay conected and have a little something to play with... then yeah... go for it. Otherwise, I wouldn't think about, not even for a single minute!
Well, at least here in South America, the cost of acquiring/updating a LAPTOP is way higher than the cost of keeping a desktop PC really up to date.
