Default Laptop or Desktop for sims???

Hey Guys,
I'm having a dilema. I am looking at buying a new computer and can't decide if I want a desktop or laptop. Flight Sims are the only thing I run that would push the capabilities of a laptop. I know I can get a much better performing desktop for a lot less money than a mediocre laptop. I would like the convenience of being able to take the laptop anywhere to fly my sims or anything else (internet while sitting on the couch, etc), but know I could get a nice desktop with a 22" lcd flatscreen, good graphics card, etc for under $800. Will I be disappointed with sim performance of I get a laptop under $1000? I know it's tough to make suggestions without specific computers to compare etc, but I think I need to deicde desktop or laptop before I go any further in my search. Suggestions???

Thanks for any input!,
Todd
