Looking at getting a laptop

It's come time to replace my PC. However, I've found that just based on space I'd like to move to a laptop rather than a full desktop PC with a tower. I mostly use my PC for non gaming stuff these days, however, I do like to place PC games. Currently I'm looking at one with the current specs. Will this hold up relatively well to current games? I'm not looking to run them with every setting maxed out, but I'd like to comfortably run games.

Reading reviews, only one mentioned the heat, 100 degrees underneath (I'm assuming that's Fahrenheit).
The biggest criticism is the display but I was planning on plugging it into my OLED monitor anyway and using the laptop screen as a second screen.
100 Fahrenheit is like, 38C. There's little chance it's Fahrenheit, unless they're talking surface temperature of the underside, then maybe.
100 celcius would be more than a bit uncomfortable.
If that is the case then the only issue I have with the build is that you're spending more on the processor than you need to. The GPU is most definitely going to be bottlenecking that i7.
