College computer: Which type of computer should I get? And where should I get it from?
I can afford two of the three computer types, but I can’t choose which two to get.

So Please choose which two computer types of the three and provide why I should get it based on the preferences below?

Desktop- To use at home, and to run the abilities below
Laptop- To use while at college & home, and to run the abilities below
iPad 2- I don’t know how this will help me at college, if you think it will please tell me why

Where to get both computers from:
Best Buy- Special where you order a laptop, and you get a free Xbox 360 Slim 4GB
HP- Same as Best Buy special, but you can order any desktop or laptop and still get a free 360. You can also custom make it to a variable degree.
