I think that swappable GPUs are the killer feature. A 7 year old CPU is fine, a 7 year old GPU not so much.
Seven years is a bit harsh, but upgrading the gpu once in 3-4 years would have saved you money and electronic waste.
7 year isnt that bad. I like to always say if you vare about how hardware ages as a gamer, match the consoles of the current generation.
So any decent 8c/16t cpu will likely age fine for the foreseeable generation. With gpus, ot was a matter of matching what the consoles have reserved for vram (10-14gb depending on how much ram the game reserves for itself and the OS). Its why 8 gb vram gpus are aging like milk with the current gen.
I'm still running a PC from 2012. It's seriously fine, I only started feeling it last year. Looking to upgrade next month.
Still remains to be seen how cost effectively the actual upgrade can be done.
Replacement/ upgrade GPUs are not a new thing and have failed to take off in the past.
MXM was the name of the form factor... Info for the curious... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_PCI_Express_Module
