Desktop. But it really depends on your situation. If you want to play old games (which I'm assuming you don't want to), any type of graphics card in a laptop will work.
Desktops usually yield higher performance at a much lower price. If you really need to move around, then a laptop will suit you.

If you really have money to burn, go with a laptop. Otherwise, Desktops are better for multi-tasking and gaming.

It seriously depends on your situation.
If you're only going to use it in one place (such as your house), then obviously a desktop, because you can get ones with better specifications for a lower price. If, however, you plan on moving around (like when you go on holiday and stuff), then a laptop, although I'll tell you now: if you want a good quality laptop, you're going to have to spend more money than on a desktop.
I personally have both, and although I use my laptop a lot more (basically because I'm at boarding school and I have not yet bothered to move my desktop into my room so I use my laptop), I always go for my desktop if I'm looking forward to a good gaming session.

Desktops aren't always better in performance.

If you buy a desktop and laptop at the same price, from the same company, and for the same use, the desktop will be better.

desktops are eaiser to upgrade. With a laptop, if you want a bigger screen, you have to go buy a new monitor.

For the price, a desktop is much, much better than a laptop.

For your $1200 budget, it depends if you want to build your own computer from scratch (costs less, better parts, recommended.), or buy a pre-buil computer. Building your own computer really isn't very hard, you just gotta know where to put everything.

I'll see what I can do with a $1200 budget.
Part / URL / Item / Price with shipping
Case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129021 - Antec 900 - $119.99
Mobo: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128059 - GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3L - $96.57
RAM: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820208336 - Transcend AxeRAM 2GB, 1066MHz - $85.57
CPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115028 - Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 Conroe 3.0GHz - $269.99
GPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130072 - EVGA 768-P2-N831-AR GeForce 8800GTX 768MB - $422.14
HDD: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148262 - Seagate Barracuda 250GB - $69.99
DVD drive: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827129018 - General CD/DVD burner - $36.57
PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817703005 - PC power & cooling 610W PSU - $119.99

Totals out to $1220.81. You'd be able to play Crysis on high settings at at least 30 fps. Would someone mind verifying the PSU would be good enough?
