I have way too many bikes, otherwise I'd pick one up. The drivetrain specs are a little meh but I'm sure they work fine and can pretty easily be upgraded.
For those of you familiar with the Intense brand, you might be asking what these 951 models are---apparently they're special makeups for Costco but the same frames as Intense's retail models. Here's what I found online:
The 120mm-travel 951 XC has the same frame as the Intense Sniper T.
The 951 Trail is based on the Intense Primer 29 and has the exact same 140mm-travel frame.
Clearance for much larger tires, generally up at least 45mm wide, as compared to road bikes, which used to top out at 28mm wide, now 32mm-ish. Some gravel bikes will clear 50-60mm tires, which puts you squarely in the narrow end of mountain bike tires. This is the biggest differentiator in the road/gravel divide.
Gravel bikes generally have a wider overall gear range than road bikes, as there is the expectation you'll be headed off-road. Generally there are lower "low" gears on a gravel bike for riding dirt and sketchy climbs.
Gravel bikes tend to have slightly more relaxed frame angles (we call it "geometry") for a less aggressive riding position than road bikes. There are gravel bikes with racier fits like road bikes, but they are in the minority. Most modern gravel bikes fit like a cross between a road bike and a late 00's MTB.
Gravel bikes have frame specifically designed to handle the abuse of being ridden off road. Some are more overbuilt than others, but all of them are designed to handle what people would consider easy MTB trails.
Those are the big differences. You can absolutely put slick/skinnier tires on a gravel bike and ride it on the road. It will just be a touch slower than a dedicated road bike. If you were on the fence about pure road vs. gravel, I'd side with gravel at this time as it's much more versatile with only minor penalties to speed.

Gravel bikes are basically ROAD bikes, try google a pic for gravel bikes and see if any had a suspension.
Generally speaking, a drop bar gravel bike will not have any suspension. Not sure where you are getting your info from. There is a new market for gravel bike specific front suspension forks as an "upgrade" to your gravel bike but you will be forking out $700 and up for just the fork. Obviously marketed at the spandex clad weight weenie cyclist crowd with too much disposable income.
Asides from the 1x, what even makes it a gravel bike and not just a regular road bike?
