The coronavirus and the subsequent shift to remote working has prompted many people to grab a compact device to get things done.
And this trend doesn't just apply to work models.
Gaming laptops are also becoming more and more popular. Iron is in short supply today, and stores sometimes demand as much money for an actual RTX 3070 graphics card as for a laptop with the same video chip. In such conditions, buying a laptop for gaming sounds more profitable - especially since many of them can be found on free sale at an unreasonable retail price.
I switched to laptops from desktop computers about five years ago. During that time I've changed four models, tested several other devices, and thoroughly researched the nuances of gaming laptops before buying my latest PC.
In this article I will tell you what to pay attention to when choosing a gaming laptop and why the popular scare stories about overheating of such models are almost irrelevant today.
