WHich on should i get? i'm pretty confused. i want something that will last me a long time and that is fast, but it would be nice to have something that is portable like a laptop.

Well it depends on three things:
- Your performance requirements (and in the case of notebooks, the importance of battery life)
- The importance of portability
- Your budget

Only you can decide!

Essentially for a desktop, you can get a more-than-decent tower for $1000USD while with a laptop, you'll need at least $1500USD
