Desktops are always a smarter system buy if you plan to only play stationary. Get a laptop if you travel a lot. Just be aware good laptops are expensive.

I don't remember the details of your laptop, but it was a good laptop... but a bad gaming computer. This computer be not that much better than your laptop, until you put a video card in the computer, then it will get 10-50x the game performance, even with a $100 video card, and you cant put a video card in your laptop.
