Gaming laptops have historically had a reputation for being bad for a number of reasons:
Poor build quality compared to flagships in comparable price range
Poor battery life
Poor cooling implementation
Poor relative performance due to above points
Large and bulky, offsetting the value of portability
Cut corners in other ways, like poor color depth, having a good graphics card but a CPU bottlenecking the games that would utilize it, lower RAM than it probably should have for gaming, etc.
And then not to mention some people just don’t like the neon green and red “gamer” look many of them have. There’s the distinction here between “gaming” laptops and gaming-capable laptops.
