I, as well as MANY others, beg to differ; it just comes with a price premium. 4 examples of sli gtx 1080's. Yes I realize it is out of his price range, but it's to prove a point that there most definitely are gaming laptops that will outperform most modern desktops.

oh wow

a year's worth of house mortgages

seems convincing and def well worth it, one sec let me buy it

imagine how much you could save and how much more overclocking headroom you'd have on a desktop, not to mention space for expansion. It's inferior in every way to a desktop with equivalent hardware except in the space it takes up. Batteries will drain down to 0 in minutes at full load so i don't understand why it needs to be in a laptop form factor unless space is a huge constraint, in which case money is probably better spent on a better abode than an overpriced desktop replacement.

/e not to mention how much more you could get if you just spent that same amount on a desktop, SLI 1080's gets smashed by 1080 ti's

I'm not at home most of the time that's why I need a laptop

You are completely right in that price : performance, desktop wins every time, but again to my main point is the portability. People who are on the road a lot for work, or just prefer to be more mobile. There is a large market for laptop gaming, hence why these kinds of laptops exist.
That being said, I would never personally buy one for gaming, but that's not the point of this thread. The OP wants suggestions of laptops for gaming, not for everyone to criticize his choice of form factor. Also just pointing out the fact that JohnQQMiller does nothing but troll in this subforum.

a 1080 sli gaming laptop it 'more mobile than a desktop' but closer to a lanbox in that regard than a computer that can truly be considered mobile.

I already have a desktop this is the one I own

But now I'm not much at home and I need a laptop

You're not just spending more but making a lot of sacrifices to mobility and battery life, do you really need to play mediocre at best current AAA games at high settings/resolutions while traveling that badly? Statistically, something like 99% of all games that have been made since the beginning of gaming can be made to run on even a low-power 6 year old notebook. Included in those are almost every game actually worth playing.

If size, weight, and battery aren't even a concern you may as well just convert your desktop into a lanbox
