Once you start working with electrons in the GigaHertz lane, you have more problems in your hand than just speed.

You have to think about signal timing, tracing lengths, parasitic capacitances, noise getting inducted into open terminals, signal integrity, de-phased signals due to a misaligned connection, different clocks due to even one bad transistor in the capacitor, and more and more we can go on about.

Like I am excited about this laptop, and I will buy one once my old and trusty legion 5 gives out. But I will hold back my expectations. I also once thought that "why can't they just do x? Just add y." but once you get into the intricacies of these magic rocks that even graduate engineers have no idea about, you start to be more conservative.

I also stopped complaining about bugs in apps and games once I got to experience my own deployment. It's easy to blame others when you are ignorant, bit things get different once you know what is happening.
