Gaming laptops are being left behind

…and are being replaced with handhelds like the Steam Deck, ROG Ally, and Lenovo Legion Go, among others.

With everything trying to compete with the deck I can see why. Gaming laptops are going to have to compete with those from now on, too.

i guess gpus are now for generating bullshit text or something instead, so oh well

tell you what, make them modular and repairable and ill consider one

Ryzen laptops which feature capable integrated GPUs serve light and medium gaming tasks well. For heavy use, there are desktops, which is where the real power is. Portable systems like the Steam Deck are also hitting from the mobile side as well.

Gaming laptops have always been an extremely niche product and have gotten squeezed from all ends in recent years.

Gaming laptops have always been an extremely expensive but less capable desktop. Their portability is laughable, and pointless. Their battery life is non-existent, and if you can't easilly move them, and you also have to plug them in all the time, then what does a laptop give you?

Not to mention their bad keyboards, bad speakers, a touchpad? and compromised screen. Not only should they be left behind, they shouldn't have existed in the first place.
