What is the best gaming laptop for a budget of 1000-2000$?

First of all, why a laptop instead of a desktop?

If you need a laptop for other things, be it work or school, and your budget is 2000$, you might as well buy a desktop with 75%-80% of that money that would be more than 5 times more powerful than a gaming laptop with the same price, and with rest of the money buy a cheap laptop like a chromebook to do your portable things

Two fold issue:
1) I travel a good deal, moving a desktop with me is not impossible, but the risk of it getting damaged and the pain of setting it up every time I move would be high.
I basically live out of two duffel bags and a backpack.
2) My work involves using my laptop for fairly high-intensity tasks, granted my current laptop is still handling those fine so I could just hold onto it and spent the money on a desktop but I'd rather not.

TL;DR: Possible but it would be a pain.

If gaming laptops are truly a bad idea then I will acquiesce, but I would prefer them.

I misread your statement, if it's seriously that much more powerful then would you mind giving a couple examples of each?

He's just wrong.

He hasn't been keeping up with technology, and doesn't realise that laptop GPUs are the same as desktop GPUs now.

you can build a desktop with a gtx060 with 800$. A laptop with a gtx1060 is upwards of 1300$.
The difference between a laptop with a 1080 and a desktop is more than double the price
