>>>I changed my job two weeks ago. They bought me an ultimate MSI gaming notebook. IT has best mobile i7 cpu, full hd screen and 4K video output. I'll just use Axapta and I don't know why they bought a notebook like this. :)

>>>It has an extra button for force fan to run alltime, of course I don't use this silly button. I would be prefer a ultrabook but this's a client side job. I'll sit down all day at my office. After 25 years work at software companies with run from on site to other this'll be good for me (or not, I don't know yet)...

>>In the near family there is one of the MSI notebooks with not too crappy graphics (compared to desktop gaming) in heavy use... The noise of the fan which is needed whenever the graphic card is taxed would drive me up the wall...

>One bad thing about laptop and compact PCs (that are configured for desktop-like performance) is that it requires smaller fans for cooling -- but they still need to move a large amount of air for cooling -- hence they need to be run at higher RPM -- making them noisier. Larger diameter fan doesn't need to spin as fast to move the same amount of air -- thus they tend to be quieter. Of course one workaround on laptop and compact PC is run it in "low gear" (i.e. take it out of high-performance mode) -- it'll run cooler (albeit slower) and the fans won't have to be spun up as fast -- thus quieter.

IMO portability in a gaming machine should be a carry-handle on a bigtower case ;-)

Couple of years ago there was a desktop machine totally immersed in a non-corrosive fluid instead of just liquid-cooling some special parts. Probably started as April fools idea but IIRC worked really well. As today some machines go without moving parts (except for cooling fans) the idea might hold more fluid (not especially water...)
