I would sincerely recommend an actual desktop PC over a laptop due to the sheer cost.

I'd say a high-end laptop with the same specs as a desktop, would be close to double the cost, particularly If you build the desktop yourself.

This is very true.

I have a co worker who did a budget build for $600 and is running any games on any settings right now and showed me. I want a gaming laptop so when i'm at work i can bring it and play games. I'm not looking for the top end gaming laptop that would cost around $3k with that i can just build a pc. My sister has a MSI gaming laptop that's around $1k and i see her playing all the new games without any problems. I'm just looking for suggestions if you guys know a decent gaming laptop that would get me to play the new games without lag and would be able to stream.

Ok, how about a better question: What is your budget?
As you said before, you want to stream while also gaming. Streaming is a heavy task and you will need much better specs to be able to run both games and the stream. We could be talking a minimum of $1k. However, it also depends on what games you're looking to run. We wanted to make you aware, building a PC with good specs can cost even half the price of a laptop with equivalent specs.

There may be other portable options. You can build a smaller desktop PC not much larger than a gaming console - which can give you the portability without the excess cost of a laptop, and less concerns over overheating.
