It really depends on what you mean by "get the job done."

It gets school work done, but the problem is, for the moment, I plan on doing something in the video game industry. So, the thing is I have to have experience playing video games so that I can know what works and what doesn't. I need a computer with good graphic capabilities to do this, and unfortunately I have a crappy laptop and it isn't the type of laptop that allows you to upgrade easily because it is an integrated chipset.

If I get anything I plan on getting a desktop, but the problem then becomes the poor portability of most desktops...although I suppose since the new type of computer monitors have came out it is easier to transport.
