Upgrade or release rugged laptop
Now rugged 14 5420 5424 and 7424 specification are oldest , cause Getec and Durabook also have more powerful cpu and gpu like 10th cpu and GTX 1050
so I hope dell can upgrade WiFi 6 , Bluetooth 5, thunderbolt 4 and 11th cpu and the gpu like 1650 1660 , cause the rx 540 is unavailable to perform complex graphics processing
support dell , and I hope can hear the great news before Christmas Day ~

You'll need to decide whether you want rugged portability or high performance video. High performance GPUs like the GeForce chips you've mentioned are power-hungry and prodigious producers of heat, which requires ventilation to dissipate. That in turn requires a relatively open chassis that's at odds with the durability mission of these systems, which must resist spills and dust intrusion.
No one notebook can do both high performance video and serve as a shock and environment-resistant portable.

I agree with your good point
How about MX 450
There is more lower TDP than GTX 1650
Is that possible?
Cause durabook z14 have the GTX 1050 Ti GPU

If so, it's a small segment of a niche market - - I doubt you'll see Dell enter it. The small number of rugged systems sold, then split into an even smaller market wanting better video means it's likely there's no business case to be made for offering such a system.
That's perfect for a niche player like Durabook -- but not for a major player like Dell (or Lenovo, etc.).

@ejn63 sorry to beat dead horse here, but you are soooo wrong.
Op wanted rugged and good performance, never said it has to be low power consumption. With high performance only problem is size, but since it's clunky rugged, not anymore. About ventilation, don't you know those laptops have one already? It just needs to be closed.
And any laptop is more portable than PC
