Well This is good news. The reason why I want a gaming laptop is so I can have a decent Portable PC and being able to play my games at my cousin's place. I also agree that is is the user's choice if they want to OC their laptop's GPU let them. There are some gaming Laptop manufacturers that offer OCed Cpus out of the box or you can OC it if ya want to.

All these people saying 'you can't game on a laptop' - go look at 1080p benchmarks for the 980M and 970M.
My 970M can run the original Crysis at 1080p at 55FPS average. A 10% overclock (perfectly possible, I'd expect 15%) would hit the desirable 60FPS average. As for any UT3 based game, it munches them.

And the whole melt your laptop thing.
No, no it won't, if temperatures get too high (which any good gaming laptop will not) it throttles or turns off.

If people want to to melt there poorly cooled and designed laptops/ultrabook THAT ARE NOT DESIGNED to be OC to begin let them. and yes there all poorly designed when it comes to cooling.
Unless you payed arm and leg and even then i find them poorly cooled,
Sure you can get gaming laptop, that could play those game , but there not designed to take the heat that is produced.
I lost count how many laptops/notebooks etc i seen come in with shuting down issue due to heat issue, and they where not used for gaming, and they ranging from 200~3000+ $ laptops, they are not built to take the heat and people want to OC them let them i like have laugh at those people expense

That "gaming" laptop listed above has the capability to graphically perform a tick under the performance a DESKTOP GTX 980. $3100 though, but only 6lb, and as thin as a Macbook Pro (I have a 1st Gen Aorus, the heat is fine on them)

Has two GTX 980M in SLi which will outperform the Desktop GTX 980, but again $4100, and it's insanely thick and heavy.

I see your wealth of facts and external sources to back up what you're saying has convinced me.
My laptop is melting and cannot handle the stress, it's not able to play games either, when I do try to play games it has heat issues and catches fire.
Honestly, I should just give up and get a desktop eh?
What I think you're mistaking is high end products and people not maintaining expensive laptops.

Why would you want to make your laptop run hotter and kill off even more semen? Strange people...

Hah, the clockdown temp on FX5700 Go was in the beginning 135C, later lowered to 125C on Nvidia drivers. No wonder mine did terminate the contract after 11 months - my OC results with 5700 go are probably still the highest on 3DMark.com.
