Why gaming notebooks as a whole simply suck and should be avoided at all costs.

The only advantage a laptop has over a custom built PC for example is portability and convenience..but when you're looking to purchase a gaming laptop like the Asus G series for example, all of that gets thrown out of the window.

I'll list a few of the negatives about 'em..

- Heavy.
- Bulky.
- A large majority of them are at 17'' and almost none are below 15'' making it even less portable.
- Expensive.
- Underpowered.
- Sub par battery life since the higher end CPU, GPU, and native resolution eat it out making you have to carry the charger around more times than not which = less portability = less of what a notebook should be = more of an overpriced and underpowered tower replacement.
- Filled with crap-ware.
- Sub par TN panels which in turn makes shoddy viewing angles and colour reproduction.

In the end, they're a horrible buy...yes, all of them. If you want to game, build yourself a decent computer. If you want portability and half decent battery life, get a laptop that is actually a laptop - and no, I don't mean this buy going to your local BestBuy and picking out a 15'' $350 Acer low end tier either.
