Well thin laptops are way lighter, if you only want to take notes at uni it’s perfect. The problem is that they cost a shit ton of money because the constructors understood that making a super light computer with midrange smartphone level performance and price would be such a banger that they couldn’t make any money off of it. So instead they make them as powerful as possible so people have no choice but to write their thesis on machines that can run videogames for 10 minutes before overheating. That’s the stupid part.
You cant have smartphone level performance (performance/battery life) with an x86 chip lol. I hope more manufacturers are moving towards ARM chips in the future bc I hate apple
No of course, I’m not saying they should use a x86 chip, they could basically make a tablet with a nice built-in keyboard, trackpad and no touchscreen so that people can just take notes, browse internet, and write emails.
Basically I’m just advocating for making devices that are appropriate to the needs of users

Good luck going to Uni everyday with some ultra thick gaming laptop with 30mins battery life
Tell that to my classmates.
Dont agree. Thin laptops have a great usecase and I would never drag around anything bigger or heavier.
But I agree they could use easier upgradeability or maintenance.
