I have a bunch of experience with Dell laptops that have lasted 5+ years. Definitely sounds like a 2022 problem. I even have some old D610s from 2010 that are still plugging away.
My experience has been the exact opposite of yours with many friends having MacBooks that have had major problems.
1) Incorrect GPU Paste on MacBook Pro - had to disable the kexts to get MacOS to boot and use the Intel integrated GPU. A class action lawsuit ended up getting Apple to fix this.
2) Fan failure and overheating due to bad fan venting directly on display design
2) Dead motherboards/CPUs (I suspect from overheating though unsure)
I think Apple's move to ARM has helped tremendously with how difficult they found cooling their Intel chips in their case design. A move from CISC to RISC will absolutely net a power efficiency gain, it just depends on your use case whether that raw power to efficiency tradeoff makes sense. Also with Intel's new big.Little (cough Samsung) architecture we'll see how efficient heavy duty Intel CPUs will become.
