I am interested in buying a new laptop. Which would work better for MATLAB: a gaming computer with a GPU, or a mobile workstation? Thank you!

GPUs are only used by MATLAB if you have the parallel computing toolbox and an Nvidia gpu and you program gpu access. If using gpu for computing is something you want to do then you should think about single vs double precision, as some Nvidia gpu run double precision at 1/32 of the single precision rate, and some run at 1/24 of the single precision rate, and some run at 1/8 the single precision rate (my memory tells me). Gaming system gpu are typically fast single precision but no better than 1/24 for double.
