*what I think most of the problem is. People either blame the laptop for their misuse or over compensate the specs not realizing they are just countering the overhead of their own, again, misuse.

Yup, 16GB is fine for over 95% of users.
Now, I'm not saying that higher spec's are mo' better. Just these '16Gb oF RaM In 2026 ShOuLd bE OuTlAwEd' kind of comments appear to be coming from people who couldn't even point to a stick of ram if their life depended on it.
P.S. If you want "future-proof" be prepared to pay or omit the GPU. Champagne tastes on a High Life budget

Also those with 32GB RAM and not using it, which is most of them, are actually wasting money on electricity. All RAM must be constantly powered, even the RAM not being utilized.
Yes, the reduced battery life is an even bigger concern.
IMO most (not saying all) hinge issues seem to follow users, not brands. Open you laptop from the center, not opposing corners, and the hinges normally outlast the average useful life of the machine.
More like $3 to $10 and this is Slickdeals, where every dollar counts.

Prompt: "How much extra power would a typical laptop consume over the period of a year with an extra 8 gb of ram on an otherwise identical machine? Assuming a standard household use case."
Response: "Here's a simple estimate of the extra power use from adding 8 GB of RAM over one year. Assume typical home use where the additional RAM draws about 2 watts on average and the laptop is used 8 hours per day. The daily extra energy use would be 2 watts × 8 hours = 16 watt-hours per day. Over a full year, that becomes 16 Wh × 365 days = 5,840 watt-hours per year. Converting to kilowatt-hours, 5,840 Wh ÷ 1000 = 5.84 kWh per year. At an electricity cost of $0.15 per kWh, that would cost 5.84 × 0.15 = $0.88 per year. In short, adding 8 GB of RAM would use roughly 6 kWh per year, costing about $1 annually under typical household use."
