Should I get a laptop or desktop?

Question

I'm wondering if i should get a laptop or desktop, it has to be Dell.

What i want to be able to do:
Internet
Multi Task fast
Windows 7
at least a 17 inch screen
long battery life (if laptop)
a lot of memory
webcam
be able to play Microsoft Flight Simulator X on high graphics
be able to go on the Sims 3 on high graphics
etc.

It has to be less then $2,000.00

Wireless Internet capable (even if a Desktop)

What kind should i get and should i get a Desktop or a Laptop?

I like taking my laptop around the house (well i did before my brother messed it up so now if I un plug my laptop it shuts off)

I want at least a 4 hour battery life (if a laptop) for plane rides and long car trips

I'm basically answering my own question....
What laptop should i get?
