Core i7, RTX 4060 gaming laptop is now only $1,199 at Amazon

I gave up on laptops a long time ago. They basically became unusable within 2 years of purchase even when I was buying top of the line ones with the best processors and best GPUs.

I doubt I am going to be jumping back in any time soon, but my understanding is that they have gotten much closer to desktop performance than they used to.

I wonder if they will ever create some laptops that could end up with full PC power limits and thus close the gap in performance by creating them to accept external cooling loops that would allow the internal components to run at full standard PC power.

"They basically became unusable within 2 years of purchase" ...... What?

I'm sorry sir, but you don't know what you're doing then.
That statement is absurd.

Some company should promote the mini pc, instead of laptops. A lot of people only needs a portable, upgradable PC, and not an underpowered laptop.

The industry has become really close to the mobile parts... some desktop graphics and cpus are basically a notebook part.

I tell to people to sell the notebook after two years, because if they keep will be burned (notebook eventually breaks).
