Thought I'd post what an old geezer has for a computer. I used to build mine from scratch but done with those days. Have an ASUS ROG 751J 17" laptop (not really a laptop) that does more than I need these days, including any games I care to play.
An old school desktop icon person, hate tiles and touch on anything bigger than a phone or tablet. Just throwing it out here for discussion and my desktop capture plus hardware info.
That's not old.
This, is old... 😜
It has 640k of RAM, just enough to run Visicalc.I really should clear off the 10MB Hardcard, disconnect the cassette cord, and send it to a museum.

Looks almost exactly like the 8088 I built from Computer Shopper parts back in '87, minus the IBM emblem of course. Fun booting from floppies, then upgraded to a whopping 5MB MFM hard drive the size of half a shoe box.....lol.
Take that! ;-)

Oh, if I only still had my C-64...
I don't care for tiles either. They're disabled on my Windows 10 machines and I have regular icons.
ASUS ROG G750JH over here. Use it for couch gaming/non-VR games. You are right about it not being a laptop, because until I got this one, I've never heard of an 11lb laptop!
I seem to be running some of the same programs. Not near as powerful as you guys though.
I used to have quite a bit more programs on mine, but since I performed a clean FCU install I have yet to reinstall them. I probably won't do all of them, but I'll definitely reinstall Steam and my Half-Life and Half-Life 2 games fairly soon.
Later I might take a snapshot of my Acer notebook. You want to see a weak computer? I'm surprised that thing even has enough in it to get online. :p A 1Ghz processor. SMH.
I wish I still had my VIC-20. That was a fun computer.
