Need new hardware/Taking recs for new setup

Hi, all! Hoping you can help me out with some recs. I'm not a super tech-savvy person but I can usually stumble through with some troubleshooting but don't know a ton of verbiage. I have a late 2010s MacBook Pro that is on its last legs and will be in need of replacement shortly. Currently, I have it set up with a partition between MacOS and Windows utilizing Bootcamp. I use the Windows side for gaming and the MacOS for work and general browsing.

I am contemplating a switch to a laptop PC but am debating if it's worth it to get a more powerful desktop PC and then simply stream my games using SteamLink. I'm not sure if that would be a good option for me. I have an Apple TV and iPads that I can utilize as my displays, but I think my preference is actually having a small screen set up for me so that I'm not monopolizing the TV. Or I can just scrap the creative solutions and get an overpriced gaming laptop.

I don't think I play games that are super demanding in terms of RAM/power/blah blah. It's a lot of cozy gaming, visual novels, etc. but on occasion I'll play something like Dragon Age.

Thanks in advance!
