Here are some things to consider:

1) Video editing (processing) is highly processor intensive. The faster your processor and bus, the faster you will have your finished product. Faster chips are cheaper for your desktop than for a laptop. You can always upgrade your motherboard to handle the next generation of chips. Not so on a laptop.

2) Laptops don't last forever. Ask anybody who's used one extensively. Eventually it will die. When it does (usually right after warranty exprires) many problems will be too expensive to fix. You'll end up buying another laptop.

In the long run, I think you will spend more money and be frustrated with your results. Keep a desktop machine.
