I don't like laptops that much so I don't know if this might sound a little biased but I think desktops are better suited for gaming; better cooling system, more room for improvement like a bigger screen, add more RAM, upgrade CPU, improve cooling system. And I think they're even a cheaper solution too.

Totally agree: for the same bang for your buck, the rule of thumb seems to be you pay around double for a gaming laptop compared to the PC Tower, as well as flexibility to upgrade - it would seem to be a no-brainer ...

The only reason we have laptops, is that free space in our house is limited and, with young children around, sometimes you need to take your machine to a quiet room, which of course is impractical with a Desktop PC setup

Oh yes, space can be an issue. However, I don't know how space limited you are but I think that in the long run a desktop pc could be a saving money solution since there's no way to tell when a new laptop can go dead. Of course, desktops are not inmune and this can as well happen with them, but then with a good cooling system and a good PSU odds are against laptops. I used to had this space issue too in the past but I lived alone back then so I guess it wasn't that much of an issue like in your case. I remember I wanted to buy a TV but always found myself wondering where to place it cause there was really no room for it, so I bought a pci TV tunner card, plugged it in my pc and voila! I had a TV, well sort of lol It was cheaper and I could even record whatever I wanted. I still have that card around but the pci slot died or so I think cause it doesn't work anymore, such a shame cause I really enjoyed recording TV shows, football matches - premier league matches, specially man united ones, I'm a fan -, and anything I wanted to. My point is, I don't know...I mean, I think with today's technology anything is possible, check this out https://www.amazon.com/slp/mini-gaming-p...trujj458wp
