The biggest problem with gaming laptops i see is that they are as expensive or even more as a tower of better specs

Just like SFF PCs you pay a penalty for the small size. There’s always trade offs.

And if you’re only going to look at it as FPS per dollar these laptops blow the steam deck out of the water. The steam deck is a highly power constrained APU with its integrated graphics stealing power from the CPU while the laptop has a full fat 55+ watt CPU and 55+ watt GPU.

Many of these lower end gaming laptops get decent battery life too. We have one at work that gets 3-4 hours of battery life.
