I don't like laptops, but some people actually need them. If you have to have a laptop, may as well drop some money to get a decent one.

Was that a pun?

Anyways, to answer the question: I am myself a laptop gamer and have been one for the past 5 years. I can't say I enjoy it: From lack of modularity to the tendency of (most) laptops to lack network ports, there is much to dislike about laptops. Not to mention that I'm forced to use a cooling pad because of the heat.

So no, I wouldn't say I like using laptops for gaming, but I do like their portability and utility.

[HypersleepyNaputunia]

have to, it works ok only cost 180 plays most games except tomb raider too laggy
my ps3 and switch is probably more powerful than it i guess

I bought one to mess around with a few years back, but use it for work now mostly.

I wouldn't recommend one for heavy gaming. They're fine for indie pixel stuff tho.

[LexAnimex]

They are not real gamers /s

If you've got the money to burn, it's fine.

If you buy an advertised "gaming laptop" for $800 without looking at the actual specs, you're a fool.

Also, there's the matter of sealed batteries, planned obsolescence and e-waste. Framework deserves support.

If the laptop is not ready for it then yes, it's hot.

I only have a laptop, and it runs the games I play without trouble.

It did get really warm, but that was because the fan decided that a steady "bzzzz" would do for all kinds of activity (and the cooling gel was old). Fixing that: no more heat problems (so far, but now that I said that...)

[sleeps]

just plain hot. i guess it's only good if you are productive outside of your home but if you just game outside, steam deck should cover things up.

laptops these days are crap.

we used to have laptops for most users and thinbooks for those?wanting to be hip but needed little performamce or battery life.
-
now only thinbooks

we had laptops with standard 3, 6 and 9 hours battery life and that was with 19 and 21 inch screens.
***those batteries could also be hotswapped.. so while worling on it you just brought extra batteries.
and with offbrand lithium-ion replavement for your model you could get 12 hour of heavy gaming out of 1 battery charge. so with just 1 spare battery in your bagyou had not to look for a charger at all.

size is small 15 inch gaming laptops whats that nonsense.. we had 19 and 21 inch laptopsback when 23 inch screens were normal we now should have 23 and 25 inch laptops!

These thicker laptops also had proper cooling build inno issues with trottling bo cooling pad needed

also had card slots..in it you could replave the gpu add a networkcard or whatecer othercard you wanted.

finally they came with with ebough space to add optical drives so they could 2d as a blue rayplayer when you were in bed and to lazy to sit onthe sofa.

todayslaptops are thus crap and no true gaming laptop excist amymore

[De Hollandse Ezel]

if you want mobile gaming you best buy a buisnuoss suitcase and build a tiny form factor pc in it.

mount a reguilair monitor inside the lid.. create airholes for fans

create a wood cover where you can store your mouse and keyboard on.

doesneed casemoddinhg skill
cant work on battery.
but can be easely carried around for your mobile gamimg.

I had an MSI laptop with a 1660.

Opened it with a special screwdriver, spit inside of it and resold it 125% profit

I wouldn't say that. Though you would expect to pay $1200 USD on one, minimum.
