Decide which one first. System specs vary greatly between the two at the same price point.


Also, there is no such thing as "future proof" in terms of technology.


/e
You could get a $1500 ASUS gaming laptop and Witcher 3 will completely shit on it when it comes out.

laptops for gaming i find very useless.

If I want to play with my friends, we go online at the same time and play.

now if you need a laptop for work/university, but you want to game too, i see the reasoning.

Bottom line, Desktops last longer.

nobody will recommend laptop because of costs. 1500 dollar laptop is as powerful as like an 700-800 dollar desktop. a 1500 dollar desktop is sweet.
granted it depends on your needs and preferences.

edit: you can also upgrade your desktop as time goes on, you cant upgrade your laptop. 4 years from now you can just buy a few new pieces and be all set.
