Are there any gaming laptop that can be upgradable

Very few of them are, and most of them are expensive and bulky. Since laptops try to be thin and light, they use custom parts, whic is why you are not able to upgrade them.
I would agree to an extant. Depends on the level of upgradeablity you want.

Bulky workstation class laptops tend to support the widest range of parts since they have higher thermal limits.

But there are many 'gaming' style laptops, and even a few business class models, in which the CPU, GPU, memory, storage, wireless are all modular and interchangeable. This comes at a cost though. Buying laptop parts as an individual is usually quite expensive unless purchased used, and then you have that risk.

You are also stuck with the limitations of the platform. Thermal Design Power for specific parts and the sockets available. So CPU upgrades are usually rare. Any machine that is modular enough to have a decent CPU usually already has the best or nearly the best in its class. The occasional i5 to i7 upgrade is possible. GPUs are less limited, but you are stuck with the TDP of the cooling solution in the chassis.

The OEM Clevo makes a few interesting boards and chassis that are a hybrid of desktop CPUs and laptop GPUs that are quite interesting. But that is in the very expensive and bulky category.
