Gaming laptops are some of the most powerful (and most expensive) portable PCs on the market. Just like the best gaming PCs, these pint-sized powerhouses promise killer performance in your favorite games — but they often come with equally killer price tags.
I know not just because I review them for a living here at Tom's Guide, but because I've been building and buying my own gaming PCs since I was a kid. I have fond (?) memories of convincing my parents I had to have a high-performance laptop with a discrete GPU when I went away for college, even though the most demanding thing I ever had to do in school was edit text and images.
