Hi everyone, you may want to avoid gaming laptop computers- I had 2 over the years and they both died on me after about 1 year, I had an Alienware gaming laptop and also an Origin gaming laptop. They were both slick, nice, but the display on both started flickering and then died completely. I sent the alienware in for repairs but it then died again within about 6 months. Finally I ditched the laptops and went with an Origin Neuron gaming desktop, that has been going strong for about 5 years, no problems or complaints! Ordinarily I prefer to build my own machine but the Origin Neuron desktops were so nice I could not resist, very nice!

A desktop is best for a gaming computer. You can fit bigger and better parts into it like the graphics card, cooling system and RAM. I've got one that's about 10 years old that still works fine.
I wouldn't recommend a laptop for gaming even if it's marketed as one. You may as well use a gaming console in my opinion.

Gaming laptops run hotter than desktops, had one once and the graphics started glitching.

Yea for sure. There is simply no space to put any decent fans, heat sinks or any other cooling devices
That’s unfortunate, especially considering how expensive gaming laptops can be. I think heat management and portability are two important factors when choosing between a laptop and a desktop. Desktops generally offer better cooling and make it easier to replace individual components if something goes wrong. I’ve also heard that gaming laptops can be more difficult and expensive to repair. Five years without problems sounds like a great result! I’d probably choose a desktop for gaming too, especially if portability isn’t a priority.
