I'd say a steam deck type device is more useful than a gaming laptop unless you are regularly playing games that are very dependent on keyboard and mouse.
Desktop PC is best because it can be upgraded piecemeal and I value low weight and great battery life in a laptop anyway.
It should be mentioned that there are some annoying extra hurdles to playing pirated games on steam deck, though. If you need a portable device and game prices are unrealistic in your region, I could see a gaming laptop being worth it.
Or get used to attaching a keyboard and mouse to the steam deck via a USB hub, because that makes the piracy process easier. Or have a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard.
