My DD only has only one game where she found that it was easier with a mouse rather then the laptop touch pad. For everything else, she uses the keyboard letters/numbers which is what most gamers do.
But, if one is coming from the game "console" side of gaming they will be more comfortable with a standard console gaming controller.
However, I should also mention, some games are super intense on the graphics and most laptops are configured with only the basic graphics controller hardware which does severely limit the speed and quality of the games and in some cases the game may not be playable at all.
When I bought the laptop for my DDs education, gaming was not on the top of the list so I didn't specifically order a gaming laptop.. She has run into some games that won't load or play and some games that will load and play extremely slow and some games that are happy as is..
Gaming laptops are designed ground up with high performance video card with faster GPU and more memory instead of the standard default video card and GPU. Typically on laptops you are not able change that after the fact.. This is the reason most hard core gamers use desktop PCs, with those they can add in a high performance video card or as needed to replace a slower video card with a newer one..
