I'm not really a gamer and I don't have a gaming computer per se, but I'm curious as to whether I should buy it or not. (Ukraine govt. is trying to ban it, which means it's probably based, but the reviews involving a literal robot refrigerator trying to SA you mildly concern me)

Get a Steam Deck.

It basically makes gaming PCs obsolete and it's more affordable than one.

(I'm not joking, my "gaming laptop" that was apparently so "state of the art" pales in comparison to the Steam Deck in how it runs games, especially at high graphical settings.)

Steam Deck doesn't make gaming PCs obsolete

As long as it can pirate stuff my PC will never be obsolete ๐Ÿ˜Ž

I picked one up, and absolutely love it. As a bonus, it's a decent Linux desktop if you plug in a monitor and a keyboard. Kudos to Valve on not locking it down.

They could've just made it into a console where you can just play games on it, but instead they left it as an open Linux PC you can use any way you like.

Yeah, that's awesome, tbh.

I don't know anything about "Steam Deck" but i do know that so-called "gaming laptops" are almost always underwhelming. You could have a PC that was built five years ago with mid tier hardware that is still better than a top of the line "gaming laptop" today.
