This.

Besides everything a in a laptop is more expensive IF and only IF you 
can upgrade something everything else is fixed by model, sub-model and 
sub-sub-model, why? PROFIT and they OVERHEAT at normal functioning, CPU 
runs at 5% average and GPU 1%, if you play games you need minimum 
settings and even so both, CPU & GPU could get to 100%.

In a Desktop the tech heaven doors are open, huge coolers (water ones if 
you have the cash), all the upgrades you want, Overclocking them, 
something got tasted, just change the piece, components are cheaper, 
faster, you can get coolers that support liquid hydrogen/nitrogen and 
get a AMD Phenom from 2.4Ghz to 7 Ghz, about 6.2Ghz stable, per core, 
imagine with faster native frequency CPUs today that support 8 cores; 
your budget is the limit. Intel has tripple channel but Hyperthreading 
is not that good, 4 hyperthreaded cores are actually like 5 cores.

Tip on AMD CPUs/GPUs: before buying run tests of "heavy" games to take 
the CPU & GPU as close to 100% as possible and select a cooler 
accordingly. Lock that beast in a air-conditioned room and enjoy the 
games :-)
