Get a gaming pc + a cheap laptop for school. If you get a big gaming laptop you are never going to want to cart that around school.

This, and you could always get a small desktop that is mobile enough to bring with you for semi-permanent setups (LANs, school, etc) if you need power that is semi mobile. Just because it's a desktop doesn't mean it can't be pretty mobile.
