Good points. Recent high end laptops suffer from terrible heat throttling. Recently I've resorted to buying a cheap old server to do most my work on. The old machine is significantly faster than my company issued 2019 Macbook Pro due to having great big fans and heat sinks, despite being 1/6 the price. Next laptop I purchase will have a lower TDP CPU like you mention and basically just be a terminal to the server.
