SFF desktops, all gaming laptops are trash. Horrible thermals, horrible battery life, big, bulky, expensive for the hardware you're getting, generally not built well, generally fairly ugly, etc etc etc

I agree, im fine with bulky laptops(most laptops ive had have been real big) and bad battery life cause i have it always charging but the reason i  need a laptop is that i cant put a pc in my backpack

If you choose a decent case, a SFF PC will fit in your backpack.

 

The fact that you're always going to be near an outlet and have it plugged in all the time further supports my suggestion of a SFF desktop.

There are outliers like the one I recommended but in general yeah all of the above.
