Hi Victor,
Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.
Gaming laptops are made for intense performance when compared to normal laptops. They have specially designed cooling system and high speed fans for better performance. Gaming laptops have high end dedicated graphics card but normal laptops have integrated graphics. Few laptops come with two graphics card to enhance the gaming experience.
Gamers need bigger screen size and high-quality resolution in their laptops and for a normal laptop user, the balance between size, weight, and resolution is necessary. Gaming laptops have high power consuming processors hence they have less battery life.
If you want to use laptop for work purposes like accessing internet, MS Office, and photo editing, you can buy a normal notebook which has battery life. If you are into gaming, you can go for a gaming laptop considering that they are heavy and have less battery life.
Hope it helps.
