Is a mainstream laptop good enough for gaming?

Laptop hardware has come a long way in recent years, with the most expensive models featuring CPU and GPU specs similar to what you'd expect from a beefy gaming desktop PC. If a laptop isn't aimed squarely at gamers, odds are it lacks a discrete GPU for gaming. With an integrated GPU (iGPU), you'll never get to explore futuristic ray traced cityscapes or the ultra-detailed surface of an alien world, but that doesn't mean your computer time has to be totally about productivity. If you temper your expectations, you can still get some gaming done with integrated graphics. Looking to pick up a gaming laptop?
