And if there ever was a dark age for PC hardware, we’ve recently crawled out of it, thankfully.

With high-end GPUs costing what they still cost, I don't think we're out of it just yet.

My recent realization is that the very high-end of the GPU market is totally unnecessary. A 4070 can play practically any game at 4K with decent framerates. And if you are fine with just "high" settings instead of maxed out, at very good framerates too.

A 4070 is the high end, though. Any laptop with a 4070 in it will cost over £1.5k

I don't disagree, but gaming laptops are always overpriced. You're paying a premium for the small form factor. (And I assume they also have the much less powerful RTX 4070 Mobile, which makes the value proposition even worse for laptops.)
