A gaming laptop can be a fine investment in this age of mobile computing. With GPU prices increasing every year and the added expense of fitting out a desktop with a monitor and more, investing in one svelte, portable machine is a pretty good way to save some cash. Though that's only true if you don't buy a gaming laptop you come to regret.
That's the thing with gaming laptops: you can't upgrade them all that much once. While it's possible to swap out the SSD and even often the RAM, unless you bought a modular Framework you're stuck with the screen, processor, GPU, trackpad, webcam, and more. Some of which you could upgrade with a discrete product—just plug in a gaming keyboard or webcam—but if you still want a portable PC, it's what's inside that counts.
