Yeah, but they’re sometimes the best option anyway. I wouldn’t use one for any length of time for gaming, but I have the luxury of not having to leave home much, and almost never for extended time. Back when I was still able to work, a laptop for gaming would have made sense on the long overnight shifts (the job has lots of downtime, and limited limitations on how it was filled).

Folks that travel a lot are in a similar boat.

Folks that can only have one PC and need it to be portable are reliant on laptops totally.

Yeah, even the best of them aren’t ideal, but they’re sensible for various use cases.
