If you travel a lot, and do work on airplanes, get a laptop. If you don't have a lot of desk space, get a laptop. If you need a very high-powered workstation, or play a lot of 3D games, consider a desktop system instead. Laptops are always a step behind desktop computers in speed due to the necessity of fitting everything into such a small case and keeping heat levels and power consumption to a minimum. If you like the idea of upgrading your computer piece by piece, get a desktop system.
Laptops are much less upgradeable than desktop systems.
