Many people had bad experience with "gaming" laptops since they're usually made with low quality parts and sold at a huge markup. That's is compounded with the high thermal stress caused by the crappy cooling system. You can't upgrade the CPU or GPU since they're soldered in. You're also paying as much as a Mac, but still stuck with Windows.
Just use a desktop for games, and a loptop for ricing on
Bad thermals
Stupid case design that makes the poor think throttle
All nvidia Intel garbage
This, now that I'm graduated and settled Im looking to build but my labtop was a godsend throughout college
There are two types
People who ridicule people because they know it will stigmatise buying a gaming laptop and thats what they want because its a terrible investment if you dont already have a gaming pc
and
people too poor to afford a gaming laptop and/or desktop
Laptops are comfy at a premium cost. I love the portability but the economic choice is building a PC for sure. Not a good idea for poor fags who want the biggest bang for their buck, good idea for rich chads or enthusiasts.
Are there any downsides to that?
>Gaming Laptop Pros:
-Able to be moved easily from one place to another
-Screen, keyboard, and mouse all contained in one unit
-More power efficient
-Can fit on a smaller desk
-Built-in UPS (battery) so power outages don't fuck your shit up
>Gaming Laptop Cons:
-Significantly more expensive per performance than a desktop
-Typically cannot be upgraded apart from RAM and storage
Modern Gaming laptops are fantastic in terms of performance, modern laptop parts are identical to desktop parts for the most part, at least on the high-end. I think the only difference between an HQ series Core i7 and a K series Core i7 is slightly lower turbo clocks. Thermals are also fine on gaming laptops

>He doesn't plug his desktop into a UPS with a Surge Protector AND a power conditioner to ensure only clean power is going into your precocious power supply
