Main thing is it’s pretty much impossible to upgrade them and like 99% of them have overheating issues when playing anything too graphic intensive.

Definitely not worth the price. Just buy a desktop or get a switch

Depends what you want them for. I want to be portable with the capability to play recent games at good enough quality and an ability to run CAD and software when I need. Can't be portable with a desktop, can't get the performance with something that's only $800 the cheapest category of laptop.

Yes but I'm not looking for a tiny screen with terrible computing performance. I need a laptop that can run engineering software.

They are not upgradable and they overheat if playing something too intense.
