I'm looking to completely replace my gaming desktop, so I'm looking for a laptop that can function as a true desktop replacement.

Let's assume that your budget is unlimited. What laptops would you recommend for current-generation gaming that manage heat extremely well?

I currently own a Razer Blade 14 (2014), and it is great for what it does, but heat is a MAJOR problem for me even with 3D games from years ago.

Other things I'd like to have are USB C (or at least USB 3.0), and the ability to potentially handle multiple monitors without too much fuss (good docking station?), but nothing else is really much of an issue.

Is there anything out there today which can handle what I'm looking for?

Thanks!

Good question! I don't have the definitive answer, but a wild guess as to which would handle heat the best would be the largest/bulkiest 17.3" or 18.4" laptops, due to the fact that the chassis is larger, and there is more room for airflow. Perhaps something like the MSI GT80 Titan or GT72 Dominator, or the ASUS G751 series. No docking station for any of those to the best of my knowledge, but multiple video outputs to handle multiple monitors.
