Laptops vs. PC's?

I'm trying to upgrade from the PC my family and I are currently using so I can play PC games. In order to run the games that are coming out now, I need a whole new computer. Also, I am going into high school this year, so I'll need a laptop soon anyways. So I was thinking, should I get a laptop or PC for gaming?

By the way, I'm just looking to run the games on medium or medium-high quality, I'm not a big time gamer (1-2 hours a day), budget is $700-$1300 or so.

Any recommendation would be greatly appreciated! :D

If it's all about gaming then get a PC.

It will definately also be for school work, but alot of gaming also most likely.

Alright... I will be using a laptop in high school for sure though.

I'm looking at the $1000-$1300 price range, any suggestions?

Looking at both sides, but leaning towards laptop.

Alright, thanks for the tips everyone.

My new plan is to convince my parents into letting me get a new pc that I can use upstairs.

Hmm...

depends how much you have to spend. a desktop will get you a gaming system much cheaper, but laptops have many advantages

here's a good article about it
