Is PC gaming economically comparable to console?

Also, to follow up my thread, yeah… PC is sounding very enticing. Getting to play everything that I can on my PS5 and more at similar (if not better) performance, alongside the added benefit of Steam, emulation (for retro games), free online, and simply having a nice PC to work on my studies with, it seems like a no brainer at this point.

The only remaining issue: Portability. The reason I love my MacBook, iPad, Switch 2, and iPhone so much is because I can very easily pick up everything I need, carry it in a bag, and move it elsewhere with an easy set up.

That said: How are gaming laptops? I don’t like the lack of freedom that comes in customizing specs and such, but this would easily be the most affordable option, as I could simply sell my MacBook and PS5 for a very nice $2,000 gaming laptop.
