In general, if you think about it, "gaming" laptops should have an easily replaceable high-quality keyboard with a long travel and elastic tactile feedback. This is a consumable. It should be easy to replace by the owner, like in the old Thinkpad T series, where it is attached with one bolt and changed in a couple of minutes. And what we see in practice is that keyboards from the "gaming" series are extremely unreliable when used intensively in games.
Again, this is only talking about one thing - manufacturing companies are NOT interested in extending the life of even expensive lines - they need the buyer to come for a new laptop as soon as possible or contact a service center for expensive repairs.
The funny thing is, I read in the press that now in the EU they are trying to pass a law according to which the warranty will be extended by 1 year after the product is repaired. And in my country, for 30 years already, the warranty after repair begins to flow again, like a penalty against the manufacturer. True, this scheme still does not work, for a simple reason - all these 30 years, manufacturers, through the fault of legislators (parliamentarians own large importers into the country), who did not make legal accreditation of foreign manufacturers in the country mandatory, are simply washing their hands of being absent from the country legal so that they can be sued directly and also the liability evasion scheme works in most countries. And all the burden is borne by sellers (or importers), who simply inflate prices to take into account all these risks, because... They can rarely extract money from manufacturers for an increased level of defects through regressive claims.
It will be approximately the same in the EU - changes in legislation from 2024 will simply lead to an increase in prices for electronics, because... The consumers themselves will pay for the extra year of warranty after repairs. Although this will make the market more civilized in general, manufacturers will still be oligopolistic and behind-the-scenes agreements to counteract the ability of buyers to cheaply repair and extend the life of goods. Otherwise, where will they get their profits? It will simply be that more and more blatant and criminal schemes for the artificial aging of goods will be introduced by a certain date.
