What is the purpose of a gaming laptop? A simple question, and one that'll have different answers depending on who you ask. Most, myself included, will argue that a gaming laptop is for those who desire the power of a gaming PC in a chassis that you can take on the move.
That's not all gaming laptops, however. Some fall into the «desktop replacement» category, and these are built to serve a different purpose.
For these mighty machines, the idea is that you could move your PC around with you, but most of the time it'll be chained to a desk, and as such the designers prioritise high-powered components, big screens, and little else.
They're a bit of a dying breed, as these days it's perfectly possible to have a supremely powerful laptop that's still capable of being shoved in your bag and taken on the train, perhaps with a little bit of back strain as a result.
No-one seems to have told MSI. Because, in the year of our lord 2024, it's still pumping out new versions of its Titan line.
