In terms of the sound card, nic, etc, all of these components have essentially reached parity or the point where nobody is really upgrading them. Back in the day your sound card could be regularly upgraded, along with nic and whatnot. Nobody is doing that nowadays outside of niche circumstances.

Ram has held on because it's been increasing in capacity like crazy, and software has taken advantage of that.

Samsung Dex is great, tbh. It easily outperforms most Chromebooks and is really simple to use.

I’ve recently wanted to upgrade my network card to support the latest WiFi standards but the upgrade cycle is definitelu longer.
