Correct, the same gaming performance in a desktop form-factor can be get at only like 0.5 to 0.2 the price or 2 to 5 times the performance for the same money. And, assuming one plays modern games which are GPU-bound (=no need to update the CPU after on next generation), one can simply exchange the GPU for like 600 bucks (say a RX 7800 (XT) 16GB VRAM). This kind of performance in a notebook equals roughly to a 4090 Mobile (and also 16GB VRAM) and the cheapest notebook with it costs 3200 (since it's the cheapest notebook, one should verify that the 4090 Mobile is not power limited),
this is 5 times more expensive for same performance! I play on a desktop PC btw.
A gaming notebook is, neither here, not there: Too heavy to be truly mobile and too expensive for what kind of gaming performance one gets. Better: APU-only notebook like a Ryzen 7040 Phoenix APU (its APU can still play many games at 720p high to very high and 1080p mid to high settings) + desktop PC for gaming at home and freedom from disturbance.
