If it neeeds to be protable, obviously go for a laptop.

If not, i would recommend desktops, because they are usually easier to upgrade and expand(hard drive, memory, CD/DVD drives, etc.) They also usually perform better than laptops. Desktops are also usually more compatible with things.(Printers, speakers, monitors, etc)

So if it needs to be portable- laptop.

If not- desktop.

You may also want to check out some of Apple's products. They are really good for music and media, they have insane graphics, but not really as customizable unfortunately. And not as free to download apps, they have to come from the App store, but there really is an App for everything. Overall, Apple have some great products. Also Apple have some great laptops. They have really thin and portable ones, or ones that perform really well, or average ones. So you might want to check that out too.
