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.
