The most important feature of a gaming laptop for me is ........ where the fans are.  Have you ever sat in bed with a laptop on your lap or on a pillow and tried to do anything intense?  They can't get air in and the temps go nuts.  The M2 MBP has a decent design for side vents that works well, but any laptop with bottom intake is a nonstarter.  A metal chassis is a huge help here, too -- free heatsink.

 

Edit: The Precision 5680 I'm typing this on has bottom intake, and it sucks when I fire up Elder Scrolls Online.
