I have had both, but I must say that the laptop is quite handy with travelling and taking along where ever I go if I want. It takes a bit of getting used to the smallness compared to the desk top. You can get a reg sized key board or a mouse if you want, I have tried that but my computer did not like all of the plug ins that I was using, so I am back to the keyboard that comes with the package. As I said, you get used to it.

I prefer the laptop, but you would have to choose what you need most.
LAPTOP:
PRO'S
1. Easier to pack around.
2. More compact.
3. Easier to upgrade certain things.
4. And everything is right in front of you.
5. Has a battery
CON'S
1. sometimes less powerful
2. Harder to replace things if they break.
3. More expensive
DESKTOP:
PRO'S
1. easier to replace, and upgrade everything
2. more powerful
3. cant be stolen as easy
4. You don't have to buy a whole new thing to upgrade something like a display.
CON'S
1. cant be moved around with you all the time
2. does not come with a battery (as far as i know, they never have)
Like I said, you have to pick whats good for you, I cant recite everything that they have against each other.
