Laptops are the way to go even if you almost never take yours on a trip. They are as powerful and have as capacious hard drives as desktops. Best of all you can easily move them to another location or even put them in a drawer if you need your desk top for some other activity. By the time your laptop needs some major subsystem upgrade the rest of it will be so out of date that you'll want to replace the whole thing anyway. My 2ยข.
