That's precisely my point. Having low requirements for hardware is a poor basis upon which to judge the advancement of hardware. If you don't notice a difference between a 6th gen and 11th(!) gen proc and associated platform (for which we have comparative benchmarks, btw), your demands of the hardware have just remained too low for the improvements to register. For a basic home user or low-intensity office user, an XPS 9310 with 32GB of RAM would be a waste today. For people that can use it, it's a godsend compared to a Haswell/Broadwell/Skylake laptop.
