Anyone got recommendations for good gaming laptops?

Destacado
I'll throw my vote in for anything by Razer if you want gaming laptops. I buy gaming laptops because I have too much disposable income, and like playing PC games in bed. The Razer Blades generally have pretty bad-ass build quality, good keyboards, and good specs. Are they the most "cost effective" option? No, a good gaming PC and all the fixings for gaming will be much cheaper, (poorfags fuck off). If you still want a gaming laptop, don't cheap out and try to get a "cost-effective" gaming laptop - the cheap gaming laptops are still fucking expensive, and they'll also be heavy as fuck and have shitty screens and break. If you throw Apple laptop money at a Razer blade, you'll get essentially what you want, which is a laptop that plays games well, is still a laptop and not a 7lb brick, and has a good keyboard and speakers.

I almost got a laptop for around the house use, but then decided to just get a cheap overbed medical tray and a monitor mount. Run a HDMI cable through the floor and have better performance than any laptop with a larger screen for a fraction of the price. Later on I'm thinking to just run HDMI through the house with wall plates. Just plug in wherever you want of performance.

Unless of course there's a better way to do what I'm thinking.
 
ASUS ROG laptops are pretty decent. I bought mine back in 2017 and it still works pretty good (although a bit slow).
I have a gaming laptop since I have a house in PA, so I could bring it with me. One day, I’ll get a buildable gaming PC.

You can run HDMI through ethernet cabling.
 
Gosh, I asked this question here on this board like a year ago and immediately got mocked for being so uninformed and retarded, because, yeah, "laptop gaming", if it even really exists, is for speds.
 
I have an ASUS ROG I bought last year so I can game on my patio or deck. It was a hot mess, at first. Thermal paste seemed to be applied by drunk monkeys, but I cleaned it up and repasted. The CPU fans on my model are notoriously janky, and it went right after warranty expired. Replaced, and now its pretty solid for my needs, which is playing golf in GTA5 (shut up) while my dogs play most of the time. I could have got something cheaper, but over all its a decent machine if you can fix any problems you have.
 
A desktop is scalable, provided you don't forget about static. Laptop isn't. Others have said so. I did have a Dell XPS for years, partly playing that role, which did okay. There are okay laptop solutions, but they aren't great value.
 
$800 for a laptop might buy you something that could run Bejeweled on a good day.

Invest in a desktop. I had to spend $1600 on a laptop that just barely surpassed my friend's $800 desktop setup.
 
A bit late but the HP Omen with the Ryzen 4800H and a 2070 is pretty damn good for a laptop. It's not ridiculously loud or hot and it has decent battery life.

That being said, wait 8-12 weeks and the 2021 laptops with 5XXX Ryzen CPUs will show up.... More powerful and more efficient.
 
The spergitude in this thread should be evident in how redundant it is.
If you're Carmen Sandiago irl you need a laptop and it's nice to be able to play games on it too. Obviously you pay for that, and that includes replacing laptops every couple of years. If your first priority is gaming rather than the reason laptops obviously exist in the first place, buy something else. You'd think this shit would be obvious.

Anyway I've been surprised by how good the performace and build of my rebadged Clevo has been, aside from the trackpad which is garbage. Three laptops ago I had an MSI which was similarly impressive and built like a fucking tank, but the one after that was a flimsy piece of shit that fell apart in multiple places after a year so I'll never recommend those again.
 
Here's an idea. Look for 802.11ax (and 802.11be starting around 2025). These new Wi-Fi standards can theoretically reduce latency. Then use the laptop and a desktop with Steam Link or a similar service. I'm seeing 802.11ax in $500 laptops, such as the IdeaPad 5. It could be down to $300 by next year, and $100 after that. You might need to upgrade your router and desktop NIC as well.
