If you want to get started right away, you may want to consider a gaming laptop as they're easy to set up and ready to use straight out of the box. They're also, of course, a lot more portable than desktops.

It's worth noting that laptops are not easy to upgrade, as components are built-in. To futureproof, you may want to choose a laptop with a powerful GPU and CPU than you currently need. Also, consider size: a larger screen may mean a heavier laptop.
