This must be use-case dependent. I don't use laptops very much, but I still have the parts from my PC from 12 years ago, and I remember the difference from when I upgraded 6-ish years ago. The difference in the CPU alone was significant, not including the GPU and RAM. I expect to see similar improvements on my next upgrade. I don't see why that wouldn't also apply to laptops.
Though, the average person is probably getting significant slowdown from accumulating background applications.
- sqeaky 2y agoFor the machine I do web browsing from it can be anything, same with my D&D character sheets, anything, right now it is my phone. But my games need a high end GPU and that scales with time. My workstation needs to build large C++ projects and I will never have enough cores or RAM for that. I am getting a threadripper with 196gb of RAM and the only reason I didn't get more was price. I will use it all, and a hearty amount of swap space. If someone it just SSHing into things to administer them they don't need more. If some is gaming they always need more.
- jmclnx 2y ago>But my games need a high end GPU Actually I forgot this case, GPU may be the only reason to upgrade when the person is using heavy graphics games or maybe autocad or 3d modeling type software. But if you ask me, these people may be better served with a desktop where you can upgrade the GPU Board every so often.
