Gaming laptops vs desktops?

I am wondering what the pros and cons are of having a gaming laptop vs a desktop. What laptop what be more or less the same as my current rig?
Thanks

Depends how serious you are about your gaming. I'm a serious gamer and my first priority when buying a PC is gaming performance and as such I would never touch a laptop. I like overclocking my kit and playing on a large screen as opposed to the small laptop screens.

If you're more of an occasional gamer who doesn't mind not playing the latest games on max settings on a big screen, then you'll no doubt be quite happy with a gaming laptop.

gaming laptop is an oxymoron.

No laptop out can match your rig as far as I know.

its simple, the only reason to have a laptop is if you need the portability.

otherwise desktop all the way

Only if you have a cushy job where you have time to game, PC wins hands down.
