Laptop Or Desktop????

Hey guys,
I have tried many laptops, I just can’t find one that I like. One has heating issues, another has noisy fan, another doesn’t have this, doesn’t have that. I am thinking about getting a desktop instead and loading it up. I have a sweet 23 inch led monitor already. What do you think? The only time I would need laptop is taking it to grad school, but let’s face it, do I really like carrying around the damn thing all day? No. I want your inputs. I can load up a nice desktop for about the same price as an entry level laptop. Here is what I came up with; for 600 bucks….
