Honestly what they need is a solid variable resolution gaming display on this laptop that supports VRR and Gsync/freesync natively. Couple that with good productivity app compatibility, a solid battery life, the ability to have a good 15 inch + display that can run in 4k or something just above...
When you're responding to my post recognize that I was saying that Single player AAA games are still good and going strong. So the context of my post was in the theme of Single player games hence my response. I hope that helps it make more sense! :)
I mean to be fair I run a 42 inch C3 4k as my primary and a dell 1440p 27 inch as a vertical second monitor next to it.

Sure non AAA games are a dime a dozen for various triple A, Vampires clones... I suppose those are called...
That's a fair statement I don't think the first blush should be for the masses. If they are smart they will get with someone that can make a board for the soc solution then sell it to their laptop owners to swap out. Fractal or something I think is the maker name... here I come google...
For my next personal laptop I will want something portable, light, performant and with a long battery life. Doesn't need to be a gamer but being able to game on it would be nice. So far signs are pointing to a MBP of the 16 inch variety.
