Would like to know if anyone has converted a laptop into a desktop? I have a ROG G750jw currently and kinda wanna convert it over to a desktop since we dont use it as a normal laptop. Any suggestions for this?

Convert it ... how? I mean, you can certainly get a nice vertical mounting stand for it, then just place it on your desk behind your monitors and hookup keyboard, mouse, monitors, speakers, etc. to essentially turn it into a "desktop" PC. 

Desktop: KiRaShi-Intel-2022 (i5-12600K, 5060 Ti) Mobile: Moto Razr 50 Ultra (Razr+ 2024) | 30GB CAN+US+MEX $30/month
Laptop: Lenovo Yoga 7i (16") 82UF0015US (i7-12700H, 16GB/2TB RAM/SSD, A370M GPU) Tablet: Lenovo Tab Plus (256GB)
Camera: Canon M6 Mark II | Canon Rebel T1i (500D) | Canon SX280 Music: Spotify Premium (CIRCA '08)

So. Basically what i would like to do is completely remove everything from thr laptop case. Put it into a tower and output the display to a monitor. If that makes any sense. Its a great laptop. Jist over heats to fast and i kinda hope something like this would solve that. Just curious to see if its possible to do easily. Or is this going to be a huge pain

It's very complicated and it's kinda a pain in the ass. Messing with the heatsinks or the battery power is not recommended.
