Exactly this. I first thought I wanted a gaming laptop, only to find the experience sub par, and riddled with compromises. Sold my gaming laptop after half a year. Now I got a great gaming desktop, and a slightly used Surface Pro for when I do need to be portable (plus I can steam remote play on it at way higher settings than this computer would run)
The advancements in networking and related technological developments really changed the need to have multiple high powered devices.
My old gaming laptop exists as a mere opportunity to take things mobile on the rare occasions I'm able to go on a long trip, as a Linux platform to squeeze a couple more years out of it that it had on Win10.
