One thing that this piece forgot to include is power requirements or especially power bills.
Lets say I have a midrange gaming desktop with Ryzen 3700x, 2 Dimms of ram, 5700xt or 2060 super, a single M.2 Nvme Ssd plus a regular sata HD, mid range mobo along with budget gaming 24" Lcd monitor and you're looking at 400-400W load wattage. Compared to that, most laptop gaming on your review usually at 120-150W on the Witcher or max 200W on burn test.
If you are using your Pc 16 hours per day with 3-5 hours of that for gaming, that difference of wattage used will add quite a bit. I'm a bit focused about this because ever since the pandemic, my power bill rose quite a bit thanks to WFH and most of my friends also complaining about this. :D
Good point. Though I do mention that notebooks can get away with less GPU power consumption and switch to iGPU when not needed. :)
If you do go for one of the more powerful DTRs, you will end up using two power bricks totaling 460 W+ if you use the GPU and CPU to the fullest.
