Yes, Fortnite can run well on a gaming laptop. The right laptop depends on the performance you're looking for, but it's worth considering the processor, graphics card, RAM and screen refresh rate. If you're aiming for high FPS, look for a laptop with a dedicated graphics card and a high-refresh-rate display.

A high-refresh-rate gaming monitor is a great choice for Fortnite, especially if you play competitively. A 144Hz monitor is a good starting point, while 240Hz or higher can be worth considering if your PC can consistently deliver the extra FPS. A higher resolution can also give you a sharper image, but it requires more graphics power.
Yes, Fortnite can run at 144 FPS or higher on the right PC. Your FPS will depend on your processor, graphics card, resolution and graphics settings. You'll also need a 144Hz or faster monitor to see the full benefit of 144 FPS.
The best Fortnite setup usually comes down to a responsive gaming mouse, keyboard and headset. A lightweight mouse can make aiming and quick movements easier, while a responsive keyboard can help with building and editing. A gaming headset with clear positional audio can also help you pick out footsteps, gunfire and other sounds.

No. You can play Fortnite with a controller, mouse and keyboard, or other supported input methods. A gaming mouse and keyboard can give you more control over aiming, movement and key bindings, but the best choice is the setup you're most comfortable using.
You'll need a little more performance to stream Fortnite while playing than you would for gaming alone. A modern multi-core processor, capable graphics card and at least 16GB of RAM are a good starting point. If you want to stream at higher resolutions or frame rates, you may benefit from more powerful hardware.
For competitive Fortnite, it's usually better to prioritise smooth, consistent FPS and low input latency over maximum graphics quality. Lowering some graphics settings and using Performance Mode where appropriate can help improve performance. A high-refresh-rate monitor and responsive mouse and keyboard can also help make gameplay feel smoother.
