Graphics also matter. My 6yo Inspiron let me develop with 8GB of RAM, last year I bought a new one with Ryzen5 set the very same link setup and even used the same SSD but it would began to freeze or crash...

The APU was reserving 3GB of RAM for the GPU. The next day I went for 8GB more.

Agreed, the last 4 laptops bought by my family, the ones with dedicated graphics are still going strong, but the ones with integrated intel graphics aged poorly despite having better CPU perf.

I don't think you understood what your parent meant. In their case the GPU was detrimental cause it was reducing the ram available to the rest of the system to 5gb.

APUs are integrated graphics. Only integrated graphics share system RAM. Dedicated GPUs get their own RAM.
