Can laptops be used for gaming

Hey guys I don't post here much but I was wondering can laptops be used for gaming I'm not atech expert but I wanted to get into pc gaming in a few months and I need to know so i can reorganize my room and make space

Yes you can use a laptop for gaming. It is similar to a desktop computer just smaller parts that are compacted into one easly movable device.

I would get a desktop unless you need to also need a laptop for school. A desktop will cost 3 times less than a laptop and have stronger specs.

you can yea. the only problem is that u cant upgrade the GPU or CPU in most models so if u want to use it for gaming dont skimp on those bits. if ure prepared to make a few compromises in the games settings in the future then it can also last for some time. try and get a monitor that has a res like 1440X900 (or at least stay below 1920X1200). that way ure GPU wont be as strained trying to play games at the screens native resolution (and u can put a few more quid towards better hardware). u will still be able to hook it up to a monitor or TV if you wish. also be prepared to pay a pretty penny for a solid gaming laptop....they dont come cheap.

Edit: oh i would also recommend getting a USB mouse of some sort. trackpad are rubbish at gaming (there rubbish in general to be honest)

I'll just leave that there

Yes, but best bang for the buck is a desktop.

Unless you really need a portable computer, get a custom rig. Gaming-standard laptops are very expensive, and the ones you get for £200 are good for older games, i.e. 3+ years.

Yes...
