Is a gaming laptop enough for gaming?
Hello, I want to start gaming again. I used to have a PC, but I'm getting annoyed by all the cables and the fact that I have to be tied down in one place. I'm often at my parents' or my girlfriend's, or sometimes out in nature. And, as I said, the worst thing for me is all the tangled cables on a PC. I'd like to buy a gaming laptop. They're relatively expensive, though—around €1,000—so I'll have to think carefully about the decision. Do any of you have a gaming laptop? Is a 17-inch screen enough for gaming? Isn't it too small? Thank you in advance.
best regards, Enrico

The displays of laptops are always too small. You’ll never play as well as with an external monitor where it’s bigger and better.
I have a Gigabyte G5 laptop, on offer on Ebay Newware 600€, original price vlt 1200€. With my external monitor I always play because the display is too small from the laptop. Also, you should in no case buy a gaming laptop.
Your alleged “cable salad” is also available on a laptop (mouse, keyboard, power cable, etc.). This is just a lame excuse, so save yourself and buy a desktop PC, where you should also hide this “cable salad” well (countless tutorials on Youtube and Co.). You’ll regret that later, I speak of experience
Servus,
I’ve been on laptops for over 10 years.
It goes perfectly, you just have to disable the mousepad and connect a mouse. I’ll take the standard keyboard of the laptop.
I have 19 inches. Excellent. If necessary, you can connect an external screen. I didn’t need it yet.
You should be aware that the laptop is flexible and takes less space away, but still will hang on stream all the time. The gaming graphics cards draw a bunch of power, so the battery does not last 45 minutes even in new devices.
I currently own a 5 year old MSI laptop with a GeForce 2070 super and sometimes have not had a problem.
The predecessor laptop was also 8 years old. Until he was just outdated. That’s what happens to you at Tower PCs.
Upgrades to laptops are more difficult, but some things are feasible. In my current, I’ve already enlarged the hard drive and the ram is coming soon.
So if you want to shock seriously, so with high settings & AAA titles, you won’t have long-term joy with a 1000€ laptop. There it takes mM min. a 1500€ + device & which have their maximum power only at the outlet. So on the way, it doesn’t matter anyway.
Furthermore, laptops are more and more bad about price / performance.
Another 17 inch display would be too small.
In addition, after 2-3 years of gaming, the fans are happy to clog and wait gray.
Upgrade is usually not an option because the parts are usually lost.
So I would definitely buy a desktop PC, best assembled myself: https://geizhals.de/wishlists/3766257 or from a favorable system intigrator such as Dubaro.de or Krotus-computer.de or Hardwarerat.de
For the trips to the parents, if you want to dock there, I would use Cloud Gaming like: https://www.nvidia.com/de-de/geforce-now/
if you have decent internet.
I have a 17 inch gaming laptop and I find that from the size, for me the screen is optimal. I bought one for 750 € and can reach up to 120 FPS (with Shader) with the laptop in Minecraft, or in Fortnite with 60 FPS. My laptop has an AMD Ryzen 6800h, an NVIDIA Geforce RTX 3050ti and 16GB RAM.
More than 1500€ and if you play a lot, wear is extreme.
What do you mean wear? The battery? Or anything else?
Sorry. The graphics card.
The display in the broadest sense.
No you need NASA pc.
