  That's how I feel (also about smartphones), and then I try to launch any recent game and it runs at 42 FPS and I'm thinking: that's a nice number, but a better GPU would be nicer... Everything else works perfectly fine. And so I was eyeing the Framework 16 announcement, but I'm not sure I'll be happy with the ports situation (especially when a Framework costs ~double what I'd otherwise spend). Luckily, Beyond All Reason (RTS) at my skill level is still playable even at the 10~20 fps that I get near the end of a game.
