Desktop.  Much cheaper and generally better performance.

Mainly depends on what are you doing with it and on your budget.

Especially for long sessions of gaming a desktop is required since it has a better airflow between components, also prices for components are pretty good, even though GPU and RAM prices are kinda high right now.

[RollinLower]

this highly depends on what you need to use the system for. if you need it in school, you definitely want a laptop, but if you can do your schoolwark on it when you get hoe, a desktop delivers better price to performance.

Desktops are much cheaper

You're gonna bring a rather expensive gaming laptop with you to school in 8th grade ? You're gonna get robbed, I can guarantee that.

it seems like you already know your answer then. if you need it at school, a desktop is definitely out of the question.

How much money do you plan on spending? If it's around 200 USD (~1200 DKK), then a refurbished HP ProBook 6470b would be a good choice. It might not be a very good gaming laptop for things more demanding than GTA 5 or Fallout 4, but it'll get lots of things done.

I got 10k DKK and I mostly play War thunder

Honestly I would get a $200-$300 chromebook for taking to school, and then build yourself a nice gaming desktop for home (or get a gaming desktop prebuilt like an Alienware, HP Omen, Dell, etc.). Like others have said, it's not practical to take an  expensive gaming laptop to and from school everyday. If it doesn't get stolen, you're still dealing with a bulky, loud laptop with poor battery life.

 

Get the bare-minimum laptop you need for high school since you'll want to upgrade the laptop in 4 years if you need one for college. Then spend the rest of the money you were going to spend on building a nice gaming desktop which should last you much longer be much more powerful than what you would get from a laptop at the same price.

Thanks 4 the wice words but a chromebook is not acceptet cuz the school I am going to is a school where u need windows or linux macbook etc. and u cant download any programs on a chromebook and i know cuz the  school im on now rent out chromebooks until u swutch school. And as my "wice" dad says it will be more smart to buy a laptop that also is able to run some games instead of having 2 pc and than when u are done with school than u just got an desktop leing around but I want a desktop but it is not as portable as a laptop that can also run some games and im not going to buy a 10k us$ laptop cuz im from Denmark and i found a gaming laptop to around 5k DKK and that is not cheap after the fact that when u buy a laptop as soon as u unbox it it is worthless cuz than the company u bought it from has alredy developt some thing new.

 

PS. 

sorry about the gramma im what they call "Wordblind"

Self explained, you want to avoid the hassle with school setting you on their DNS if they offer to sell you a school PC. Instead buy a laptop with "decent" preformance in the games you like. Unless you want to carry a desktop to school everyday that is.

Can u please look at the 2 laptops and help meto choose the game I wanna play is war thunder

[GordanFr33man]

The first link didn't come through, but the Lenovo Y520 and the MSI GL62M are both good choices. The GTX 1050 will easily play War Thunder at 1080p. I woiuld make sure you get a laptop with a solid state hard drive (SSD), it will make the laptop feel so much faster when doing schoolwork and web browsing. You will want a 256GB SSD or larger. It looks like the Lenovo Y520 you linked doesn't have a a SSD, it has a slower 1 TB HDD. I would go with the MSI GL62M if it is the one with a 256GB SSD.
