you need some 1 who was in ur position before to answer u, and it happen to be me :P

i have a Clevo P370EM laptop with i7 3740QM, GTX 680M, SSD and HDD with 17" screen, the best hardware u could find for a gaming laptop " excluding the new generation hardware but still i mean mine is very high end" , anyway i thought about geting a laptop since i needed a laptop for university and i play alot at home so thought maybe just get a gaming laptop and its okie then i found out my decision wasnt quite good, laptops are very costy like a gtx 780M is $ 700-800 while desktop 780 cost about $ 550 and way better preformance. now u maybe think its okie to lose some preformance while u can move ur system " my laptop weight 4kg" but what u dont see in laptop specs is that they all run the gpu on PCIe 3.0 @ x8 which will cut from its preformance, same goes for RAM it will not run on its 100%.

 

so u are better off with a gaming desktop and any laptop that is just good enough for ur study, u wont regret it, u can change any part in ur desktop later more freely than laptops.

sorry for the long post but trying to help u :D

If you live in asia then another very important aspect you overlook is availability of aftersales service.. look into that because its crucial to have good aftersales servuce for a laptop.. this is not gonna be like a regular desktop thing that you can DIY
