I think they bring up some important points, but I feel like gaming wasn't really talked about in this which is one of the use cases for these newer, more powerful laptops.
Computers games have existed for decades.
There is no need for a recent computer to have fun, games don't become obsoletes over time.
there's also that popular meme of an R7, 3090, 64Gb machine playing low resource hungry games. It's like buying a flashy sports car to drive 30mph to work and back.
agreed, but as popular as gaming is, I feel like most people's use case means that getting the most out of their computers and replacing them with used ones is probably best
