    tldw: GPU is the chip, graphics card is the entire thing with cooling etc.

    For 90% of PC users the term GPU and Graphics Card are synonymous referring to the graphics processor installed in the computer.

    Easiest thing here,. A GPU or Graphics Processing Unit is much like a CPU (central processing unit), but more fixed for tasks that are more about literally processing graphics or workloads switched on to do GPGPU or General Purpose GPU processing (this is a term that came up with the rise of things like Nvidia's CUDA and OpenCL). A GPU can be included on the motherboard itself as an embedded solution (much like they are on laptops) or you can even see something like an integrated GPU built into a CPU as a separate "core" of sorts.
    A graphics card on the other hand is a card that interfaces with the current "bus" standard that is being used for display (in this case PCI-Express 3.0/4.0 are where we are at). This card is made up of that interface on a PCB (printed circuit board) along with your display outs on the back where a GPU, memory, capacitors, and everything else it needs sits on as well as the cooling solution be it passive (no fans, but a heatsink on it and relying on the chassis fans or natural airflow into the case to cool), or a more active solution where you see fans on a shroud over top of the heatsink plus the stuff to power it.
    The two terms have become sort of synonymous because people are more interested in the GPU than the actual card itself as the card itself is basically your interface to plug in your display, power it all, have it interface with your computer, and get your cooling solution or factory overclocking in. You become interested in the 3090 GPU and then shop for what cooling solution, what overclocked version, etc best fits your needs.

      Thank you so much. So I have one question though. Does the same GPU, let's say GTX 1050, have same performance in a laptop compared to the GTX 1050 gpu in a graphic card on a PC desktop?

    This explanation is pretty good for ordinary users, but not exactly correct.
    In the past, not all chips on a video card were considered GPUs. In fact, the term GPU is relatively recent. The first ever chip to use the term GPU was the GeForce 256 from 1999. No graphics chip that came before it had been marketed as a GPU.
