A Desktop or Laptop for Uni.

[White_hell]

Hey,
I hopefully plan on getting into Staffordshire Uni (stafford campus) and i need a computer/laptop for uni.
Im doing the Computer games design.
Im currently not sure what to get, either a Desktop computer or a Laptop.

Desktops are typically cheaper and higher spec than laptops.
But i wont be able to take it out of the uni (for obvious reasons) Plus i would have to get a monitor with that as well.
Where as with a Laptop i can take it where ever i go + i dont need to fish out more money for a monitor.

I want to use this Rig for High spec gaming AND Rendering out video files/ Extensive work using 3ds max & Maya.

Im wondering, is anyone here been to any uni and had the same decision as im having?
Do people typically have Full Desktop computers in theyre rooms?

Ive got a £2000 spending limit. But i might be able to go over that by a good £100-200 If possible (depends how much i earn from now till september)
If you know a high spec laptop or a good rig suitable to that then please enter the model name below and i'll research it up.

P.S to help a Bit i would like a Directx 11 rig.

Cool, thanks for the info.

I'll props get a desktop now.

Im thinking of getting the 3D Titan Spectre system.
Though im not sure whether 3D is really worth it at the momant.
Anyone here tried it out at all?
