<human>: I am a student who spends most of the day at school. There is quite bit of free time, which I spend gaming with my friends on my laptop. Now my laptop is getting out of date, but is still in good condition. Some of my friends are suggesting I get a desktop instead of a new laptop, and they helped me pick the parts and will help me build it. However I am wondering what I should go with, a laptop or a desktop? I believe I split the time I play games on my computer about 50/50 between home and school.

<bot>: As a student, should I get a laptop or desktop, assuming I am split the time I play at each place 50/50 and an albeit functional, yet rather weak laptop.
