should i buy a laptop or a desktop for this school year?

Hi and welcome to my blog,
I opened this blog to help anyone who is preparing for his SAT.
I remember myself when I started - I was so lost and in such a panic.
Luckily I got this great SAT guide that helped me a lot . So study hard and good luck!
I am going to be a senior this year in high school. I currently have a Toshiba laptop and it’s about three years old…still runs real nice for a well-worn computer, but it’s too behind the times for me. Basically, I want to get an updated, not TOO expensive computer (roughly around 0-650 is what I want to spend) that will play specifically The Sims 3. I’d also want it for normal stuff like holding word documents and photos and whatnot, but mainly I just like to use the internet at play the Sims. I am going to go to Best Buy…and I want to know, should I get a desktop, or a laptop? And what specific things should I look for?
Does anybody know anything about buying laptops?
I’m looking to buy a new laptop. I have a laptop, but it is old and used and does not run well.
I’m planning on using this laptop for school writing assignments and taking notes in class, so I will need one that has a long battery life as well as one that is relatively light and portable.
I will also be using it for recreational purposes, such as e-mail, IM, games, etc. so I would need it to be able to handle downloads, photos, CDs, DVDs, and itunes easily.
Unfortunately I am also on a budget so I’m looking for the best possible price. I know absolutely nothing about computers/laptops/operating systems and everything like that.
And if it’s possible I’d like suggestions that will help me decide how to set it up once I buy the laptop.
I’d also prefer to buy a newer laptop, but I will deal with whatever suggestions are given because I trust my knowledge of computers, well, not at all.
How do I solve these SAT math questions?
The ones that I am having trouble with are number 14,16,17,18. Please explain how you come to your answers and also for numbers 16 and 17 explain if there is a fast way to find the answers to these problems. Here are the problems: http://www.flickr.com/photos/40850858@N05/
