What should I do?

Gaming laptop ofc. You get to use it at home, at class, and for video gaming! :3

I think a gaming laptop would save you much more than buying 2 different computers.

I this situation (if you are going to stay at school A LOT) i would invest on a great gaming laptop to use it everywhere, even though I strongly support desktop gaming over laptops.

PS: How long you going to stay on school? If it is: Go to class > Class ends > Go back home imediatelly, then forget all I said and get 2 computers.

I'm seriously going back and forth. If I did get a gaming laptop I'd honestly have no idea what brand to get. I know dell does financing and I think I get a discount through school... So I could always get a alienware but they are kinda gigantor so that may make it a pain to lug around back and forth.

Personally I'd build a quality gaming desktop, and pick up a cheap second hand laptop that will do the job productivity wise.

All up, you probably wouldn't spend any more than if you bought a gaming laptop, and with a desktop you have a lot more flexibility for upgrades etc...

Also if one of your computers kicks the bucket with an assignment due the next day, at least you'll have a spare!

Depends on what kind a gaming laptop i have seen very expensive gaming laptop reaching almost 2,000$.
I recommend getting a gaming computer for about 1,000-1,500 and a cheap not too old regular laptop for around 200 that can still play a couple of small games. :D

I recommend a gaming laptop, don't have to be anything extravagant, maybe sth that can play everything, even the new AAA titles on Med settings

cheap lappie for school shit and desktop for gaming.

Then buy chant

I have a desktop for gaming and a kindle for classes. It takes some getting used to for note taking, but a Kindle Fire is only, like, 140 and will likely have a much longer life span than a bottom of the line laptop.
