Some games can be played on a standard laptop if it meets the game's minimum system requirements. However, heavy games, like Call of Duty, Resident Evil, etc., will push a standard laptop to its limits, resulting in lag and making the gaming experience unenjoyable. If the game contains too many graphics, it might not load completely in some cases. The strain on the CPU and GPU generates heat inside the laptop. Moreover, because most standard laptops lack an elaborate cooling system, this heat can become extreme and damage internal components, which may cost you lots of money to fix.
