i’d only recommend a desktop if you’re a real gamer (really graphics intensive games like FPSs).

other than that, laptops are better IMO. laptops arent tied to your desk. sure, you might rarely use it away from your desk/room but at least you have the option. what if you need to write a research paper due the next day and your roommate sleeps early? what if your roommate sexiles you? etc etc. its also much easier to bring home for breaks and stuff if its going to be your main computer.

your whole theft logic fails. no one will be able to tell a crappy laptop from an expensive laptop just by looking at it, save for macbook pros or something like that where theres a set MSRP and everyone knows how much they are. PC laptops come in 20394829034823 different configurations in the same case, so no one will be able to tell if your dell inspiron is barebones or fully decked out. and if it does get jacked (which will only happen due to carelessness on your part) the thief will most likely never get caught anyways unless you have some lojack type system on it.
