CPU aside, it's best to wait for thunderbolt 5 to mature. Might finally be able to go to using one device for travel and an eGPU for gaming.

Did you have issues with tb and an egpu? Beside some minor issues, my laptop with tb3 and an egpu works actually good.

I mean that's fine. I'm just saying that x86 chips are still faster. If you want a beefy laptop, especially a work device that only needs to be slightly portable eg drag it to conference rooms and back to your desk, there is little current reason to go with ARM. I'm not saying they won't catch up but folks in here seem to be thinking that ARM is currently faster.
