Can Gaming Laptops compete with Gaming Desk Top Computers?

How can Gaming Laptops compete with the much larger Gaming desk top computers? I have heard that Gaming Laptops use the APU to provide graphics where Desk Top types usually have a separate dedicated Graphics card(s). I couldn't find a good Youtube video about it. Can anybody give me a link?

    Power and speed are kings.   Power causes heat as loss and has to be removed.   Requiring more power.   Speed is determined by circuit/chip size and material.   Both can use the same tech. so this is moot.   More power requires more size and a desktop-sized laptop isn't very portable.....

    So do you want performance or portability?
