Is there such a thing as a quiet gaming laptop?
Or is this a mythical beast like the unicorn?

Well, it would be hard since the fan would be running nonstop to keep it from heating. The quite Laptop that i have tried is probably Acer Aspire VX 15 with GTX 1050 TI.
I have an Alienware 17 R4 which is able to keep temps below 60c at 2700rpm fans. To put that into perspective, that's full settings on Doom at 1080p at near silent operation. Full settings GTA @2900rpm on the fans. No water cooling, just normal air cooling. To achieve this I arranged for a custom modder to do the following:
* repaste CPU and GPU with liquid metal (grizzly)
* heatsink re-machining to improve contact (tested with pressure paper)
* Fujipoly thermal pad replacements for all stock pads (on chipsets, ram chips etc)
Do this and you'll have near silent, ultra high end gaming laptop with nothing but air cooling. Head over to notebookreview forums and check out the Alienware repasting threads if you want to learn more.
If you don't mind me asking how much did it cost to have this work done and who did you use ?
I had an Alienware 15 1070 for a few weeks from the Dell outlet, that thing was a jet engine and no good to me in the lounge. Sent it back. Interested in the 17s if they are quieter...
Went for a Dell inspiron 15 7000 gaming in the end, the version with the 1050ti. Mainly because it was the cheapest that would play everything I want at decent quality and I didn't want to carry a big expensive laptop all round the country.
So far it has coped with everything on ultra except anti aliasing, and fairly quiet, not silent, but not disturbing
