What’s meaningless about this big upgrade in quality?
So with that and the misconceptions like "You can't change the RAM /SSD" (you can, but for a smaller set of laptops than before), the thesis is rather muddy (unless you literally plan a custom printed snacks tray, but even then other laptops have pluggable side bays, so could also plug in there?)
I'm guessing that the author is comparing it to their their M1 MacBook Pro, which has soldered in RAM and an Apple proprietary SSD, that is much more difficult to replace than a standard one.
Many laptops do still have replaceable RAM and SSDs, but it's not a sure thing these days.
