Laptop instead of PC?

I urgently need a new PC for gaming as my PC is now too weak for the games I would like to play
I would like to have RTX 3080, but nowhere can I find it. A pre-built PC with rtx 3080 would be more expensive than a laptop with rtx 3080.
I've never had a gaming laptop, just PCs.
So I would like the opinion of someone who already uses a laptop for gaming. Do I have any disadvantages? (as long as I connect my laptop to my 2 monitors; with my keyboard, mouse, etc.; that is, if everything really feels like a PC)… Do laptops break faster, maybe if you gamble all the time? I can imagine the battery would suffer, right? Do they generally break worse than PCs?

In a laptop, however, there's no RTX 3080 inside as you imagine it.

I would never use laptops for gaming, I don't like them.

Everything is thin, at some point they don't really want anymore, hardware swapping is only possible with cramp.

Well mostly other graphics cards are installed in laptops than in Pc's, even if the name is the same. In addition, the laptop overheats extremely quickly.

There are laptops with a Dektop 3080 but you can't pay for them.

E.g. The following (https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.computerbase.de/2021-03/schenker-xmg-ultra-17-e21-core-i9-11900k-und-rtx-3080-im-flaggschiff-notebook/%3famp=1)

Must be cool, with a laptop cooler or a fan. Then everything fits. Once had one for 10 years. Nothing breaks

Acer Nitro 5 is a very good gaming laptop, it is available in different modifications (accordingly also costs different amounts). I've had it for half a year and I'm very happy with it

Which version do you have? I just ordered one today

To get a good gaming laptop, you have to "pay a lot of money".

Nor do they break faster than desktops if they are properly cooled and not overloaded.

But the power supply sets you limits. It could be two large monitors.

You can't just swap the components. If something should break.

I would recommend a desktop.

Would a desktop with rtx 3070 be better than a laptop with 3080? I didn't even know that the components in laptops are different.

Probably yes.
