Never buy a gaming laptop if you don't have to.If you have to, atleast ensure GPU and CPU have 2 different cooling systems - but it seems like most companies have a lot of dum dums in their engineering team who don't care about proper cooling (cause heat failure develops over years, where warranty usually already ended sooo - reason is, as always, $$$$)

A laptop, if it's not a huge one else can't possibly get the heat out as good as a desktop. It can't physically cause there is no space, meaining under load (=gaming) you thermal throttle your components after one or a few years

It actually blows my mind how Gaming Laptops are so popular, most popular category on Micro Center for something that is worse in a desktop in nearly every way besides portability (unless were talking extremely shitty prebuilts).

I just hope the Steam Deck becomes a household name, so hopefully kids get portable gaming machines under the tree that wont give them hearing loss down the line.
