Is it wise to buy a gaming laptop over a gaming desktop?

Dont do it!. I got a MSI 17" from costco last year for $999.00. It was a great deal for the money but I never take it anywhere so the portability factor is irrelevant. I have a smaller chromebook for taking to class or Starbucks meetup kinda shit.

Looking for a good performance laptop for graphic design and blender work to replace MacBook Pro (£2000-£2500)

MSI make really good laptops designed for content creation. They weren't designed for gaming, but could have up to a 17 inch 4k super highly colour accurate display, an i9, an rtx 2060, 64gb of ram and a 2tb ssd. My 15 inch cheaper MSI creator laptop has an 82 wh battery so battery life is good.

OLED Laptop for Media Consumption and Occasional Gaming while Traveling

Although since you need a SD card reader, MSI Creator 17 would fit that, so whatever you prefer the little nitty gritty things. You can go 15 for the smaller screen or 17 for all the ports you want. It also has a great battery life. (Gigabyte is like a 2B USD company vs MSI is a 42B USD company, therefore MSI has more money to invest into R&D, and MSI just by looking at it).

Hi, I agree with the other response, the [**MSI Creator has one of the best 4K displays in the laptop market. It has a 8-core i7-10875H processor, RTX 2070 Super graphics, 32 GB RAM, a 1 TB SSD, and a 4K 17.3" Mini LED HDR 1000 display, which is a great combination for games at max settings 1080p, software development, etc. It is only 5.5lbs.

Need a laptop I can create 3D animation on for under $3,500

Hi, since a 4K display is preferred, I'd go with the [**MSI Creator 17. You get a 8-core i7-11800H processor, RTX 3060 graphics, 16 GB RAM, a 512 GB SSD, and a 4K 17.3" IPS 120Hz display.
