gaming laptops are pretty much scam anyway, as person “once” fall for such scam.
they are really heavy, not really good with travel.
they are also power hungry, might be less than your actual tower rig, but significantly more than common “business laptop”
the battery won’t last with degradation where you constantly plug it in.( to gain the boosted frequency where you can play games at higher settings/frame rate)
your upgrade path is very limited and they won’t have the parts after like 2~3 years.(so anything broken you have to try find it on ebay/amazon/aliexpress)
for portable gaming during travel, your best choice is consoles. So switch, steamdeck, heck, even PS4 slim is better than gaming laptop.(hopefully PS5 pro/slim is made into form for easier box/travel format.)
Or just get a non-“gaming” laptop that still has a real GPU. That’ll be more than enough for basic gaming. For real gaming you’d just bring your whole desktop rig anyway.

Rules:
1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy “anti-woke” energy, you probably shouldn’t be posting it here.
3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.
This article reads like bottom tier AI generated noise. It’s more like advertising under the guise of tech reporting.
