The hw might've been cheaper but a console will end up being more expensive than a pc in the long run. Not to mention that the only input method available is a controller. There are quite a few games I would only olay with a kb+mouse so, for some people, a console is not even an option.

Specs? 2016 is pre-ryzen so I sincerely doubt what you're saying is true. Even if you have the then top of the line i7 6800k.
Did you mean "truncated icosahedron"? A hexagon is 2d.
Give Takanaka a try.
The proprietary gsync approach with a dedicated hw module is indeed dead and most "g-sync" monitors just use the now pretty common vesa's vrr (aka freesync).
However I did research a bit and found some "gsync pulsar" monitors but none have been released yet, I believe. They do sound like unnecessary overpriced products though. That's Nvidia for ya.
Ray tracing*
RTX is a brand.
Regardless, given the performance impact and how few games actually have ray tracing (implemented correctly), it makes more sense to just disregard ray tracing altoghether.
It's an undercooked technology used to push more expensive products, nothing more.
Regarding dlss vs fsr and xess, yes dlss has better quality but it's also proprietary so I honestly do not care about it. Just like gsync died, dlss will eventually die as well.
How can you "rely" on DLSS when you can easily use XeSS or FSR?
If you don’t need them they’re just more cost
Yeah, tell me another joke. the cost is negligible. Literally from cents to a few dollars for the manufacturer.
more holes where water/debris can get into the machine
This literally never happened to me or anyone I know.
more wrong holes to plug the charger into
If you plug in your usb-c/barrel jack charger into an ethernet/hdmi/displayport input, you deserve to have a broken laptop xD
If you do need them, then buy a machine that has them - there are plenty.
Not really true, but ok. Keep on preaching for companies that screw over consumers :)
Why move the goalpost though? I'm not narrowing it down to a specific user in a specific setting. I'm just saying that more flexibility == more better.
Why would you make up a specific scenario to justify getting a inferior product (from a usability standpoint) than we used to?
Yeah, **one **HDMI port and no DisplayPort.
Yeah and most don't have a lot of ports. Hence, this post and the issue.
Everyone's different. Maybe for you playing a game on "high settings" in 1080p@30 is enough but others might prefer 4k@60 or 1440p@100 or more fps. Also, define "modern".
