You can't make a gaming laptop look like this

It's also not easily portable like a gaming laptop.

Different types of PC for different purposes.

Just look at this thing

That's like 80% the performance of a maxed out gaming desktop... In that laptop

So apparently the Razer 2080 Max-Q variant is approximately on par with a desktop 2070.

That's really, really impressive for such a thin laptop

What I find interesting is there's a lot of people bitching on YouTube videos about it. I think they're missing the point. There is a full laptop RTX 2080 that gets 10% better performance at the cost of 30% more power draw.

Frankly, I would rather have a laptop that looks and feels professional that has the performance of a 2070 desktop yet runs cool over one that looks like one of those ugly-ass Bulkatron laptops of the 2000s that runs hotter than the Sun.

Also, casual aside, I like how the best gpus on the market can only just barely play Quake II RTX at 60fps.

I get it, ray tracing is ridiculously expensive, but I remember playing Quake 2 in the 90s with better frame rates haha.
