For gaming, I by far, prefer a desktop. Laptop LCD screens still have an average of 25ms response time and aren't as good as Desktop LCDs and CRT monitors. Video cards are easily upgradeable and you can buy much larger HDs for less. You also don't have to worry about heat from the palm rest, and air vents.
however for every other scenario, I prefer a laptop. On the days that were really hot..I wish i had a laptop, so I could carry my computer to the living room where its cooler or my friends house, using wireless. Also useful in college too as i tend to fall asleep. While a laptop may be distracting, it at least keeps me awake. better to hear some of the lecture than to fall asleep through it.

I use a lot of editing softwares like Adobe Premiere and After Effects as well as Flash, and 3D programs like Maya so I need a powerful PC.
2nd reason is the overheating problems. I can leave the PC on all day long but I'd have to shutdown a laptop within 5 hours of use.
I'm gonna get a laptop soon though -- A black Macbook, and I'm looking forward to using it as my secondary machine.

If you wanted to be a super gamer or need a LOT of power or perhaps want triple LCDs with water cooling like tons of storage... well you need a desktop.
If you want portabiity...
Well what it comes down to is it all based on what you need.
Currently I like laptops. Mine (not panda's) is quiet and does the internet just fine. When I want to process anything I would load it into my desktop and convert or do whatever.

I use my laptop for everything except making graphics then I use my desktop because it has the mouse with it. I also use my desktop for when the internet on my laptop is messing up or it won't let me on.

there's no reason for me to stare at a the 15" screen when i can look at the 19" screen of the desktop.
