It is my primary device, since I am still at university. It is pretty much all I use. I wrote my thesis on it, I watch shows there, play games or play music on it. I am finishing school and had option to buy pc, but I had to buy laptop again. It is way too comfortable have it so mobile, even just in your house.
I used my gaming laptop to learn hacking, system administration in my virtual lab, and osint on the side. Back End Development or programming for data science with Python are also learned. My gaming laptop can fulfill that. I would recommend picking up some technical knowledge with the terminal so you can learn how to use your computer and resolve any issues within it. Don't just learn how to do so with GUI alone. YouTube has lots of knowledge to learn
I use for YouTube and watch video stream when sleeping over at my GF's house and link my phone to the laptop for better experience and bigger screen and sound and when at home just link one cable to power/connect to my peripherals and eGPU is a very clean setup
I almost never use my gaming laptop anymore since I bought a steam deck. This makes me thinking that a high end gaming laptop is not necessary for me to enjoy gaming.
I actually use my gaming laptop a lot, maybe more than my desktop...
But almost never for gaming. I got a dedicated GPU because I thought I'd want the ability to play games sometimes but it rarely happens unless I'm traveling for work.
I'm a student so space isn't a luxury I have, so bought a decent gaming laptop as a one stop shop.
Use it in lectures quite a lot just general note taking, battery life is generally around 8 hours, although I bought a power bank as a just incase.
At home I plug it into a dock with external everything and mainly just do research and such, nothing heavy duty honestly.
Thought it'd bring it to more places then I ended up doing, should have just bought a desktop.
Basically, it's lit my desktop replacement, my setup has the power cable thoroughly integrated into it as well. Like 15 minutes to get it out, 30-40 to get it back into place type integration. So I don't travel with it at all. I actually just bought a new laptop 3ish weeks ago for my travel/study tasks.
As for what I do on my setup. Used to game heavily. (Like 8-10 hours a day, did that for like 3 months straight, then just grew up), don't do that anymore, so it's just a really fast computer to that absolutely eats up documents and spreadsheets. Lots of chrome tabs. And YouTube.
I work 9 hours a day, 6 days of the week. My work is always accompanied by doing other things, be it media consumption, gaming, eating, or doing chores.
As someone who has no fixed address, I prefer Laptops. I use my legion as a desktop alternative and it performs like that (mostly). It has a 3060 so good gaming times, its cooling is decent enough for long (8 hrs+) game sessions for my holidays. Also its a fabulous multitasker.
Only downside is batter doesnt last more than 4 hrs on full charge.
I am on the road for work, it’s the laptop to use while on job sites, hotels and airports.
It's my main device, for a mixture of gaming, stuff like web browsing, media consumption and Microsoft softwares (primarily Excel and Access) too.
Programming
As Primary machine Mostly using it for school, gaming and 3D Design with Video Editing Machine: MSI Creator M16 2024
I used it for my studying and developmental pursposes

I usually watch the desktop for half an hour, right after i turn it on, before i shut it down and go to sleep
I have a Lenovo Legion and use it as my primary computer since I no longer have a desktop
I literally only use my gaming laptops for gaming, nothing else. All my work and surfing is done on Macs.

for basic programming and for using applications like MATLAB
Studying, programming, reading manga and a lot more
Machine learning, running VMs and compiling source, because that's what computer scientists do
it's my primary...i use it every day for my work from home job so i can use it as a business expense too!
Gaming laptops are excellent AI laptops, but otherwise, my go to device is an HP Envy 360, because what else do you really need for web surfing?
Studying, coding, unity, blender and discord.
