With the debut of the RTX 30 Series Mobile, gaming laptops are facing some big issues. The biggest limitation that they face is thermals, which limit the wattage a gpu and cpu can handle in a given chasis. In order to handle a new RTX 30 Series mobile gpu in its most potent form, more laptops should utilize a 2 in 1 design. It has been proven with various products (Asus Mothership comes to mind) that having the gpu in a vertical position where fans have open access to fresh provides significantly better cooling. If you were able to set up your gaming laptop in tent mode (this would likely work best with a secondary screen on the outside of the device so the fans faced outwards) then thermals would drastically improve, and you could run your gpu with greater wattage.
Does anyone else want a 2 in 1 gaming laptop? I'd personally like to see 15in and 17 in models available.
