The dock doesn't need to be as expensive as the $100 MINISFORUM one others suggested. I got something like this off of AliExpress [amazon.com] for around $40-$50. Look for a BK7 (base and bracket), F9G (OCuLink to PCIe x16 board), and an OCuLink cable.

If anyone wants to try this with a (mini) PC without an OCuLink port, but with a spare M.2 slot, you can try looking for an adapter like a "F4C". This converts an M.2 slot, which is really a PCIe x4 slot, into an OCuLink port.

(I believe the BK7, F9G, and F4C are all made by the manufacturer "ADT". But you'll find a lot if listings on places like Amazon and AliExpress just list the model name. So just search for those.)

Nice theory, but are you relying on actual empirical data or just indulging in an economist's fever dream? The historical record doesn't support your claim. Your assumption—that companies consistently absorb the full (or even majority) cost of tariffs—is almost never reflected in the data. The only time that happens is under rare, ideal conditions: when a company must make a sale and has enough profit margin to absorb some of the tariff. Even then, they typically eat only a fraction.
In reality, study after study shows that consumers in the receiving country bear most of the cost. According to Amiti et al. (2020) and Fajgelbaum et al. (2020), U.S. consumers absorbed nearly 100% of the cost of the tariffs imposed during the U.S.-China trade war under Trump's first administration. Feng, Han, and Li (2023) found U.S. importers bore 93% of U.S.-imposed tariffs. The numbers are remarkably consistent across time and geography: under normal conditions, consumers absorb between 60% and 90% of the cost. That's the economic consensus, not a debate.

The last of the cheap PCs for a few years. Slick Deals are going to be slim pickings with all these tariffs.

If I wanted to use the oculink, how much would the dock and PSU and a decent graphics card cost?

Picked one of these up a couple of weeks ago (the 32 GB, 512 GB one). Runs quiet and can handle the basics just fine. The dual USB-C was the big selling point for me at this price point to replace my dinosaur desktop.

Just get this thing, a psu, and the GPU of your choice.

I used a Thunderbolt eGPU with my legion go and a 4070 to super for a long time. It did ok, but I'm pretty sure it limited the power of the card due to bandwidth. Oculink is supposed to be faster.

Exactly like that. You'd need this minipc, that dock, and a PSU with the GPU. It mostly makes sense if you're spaced constrained or just have old parts handy that you didn't sell off.

Would rather see 32gb ram and 256gb ssd (or no ssd)as most would upgrade the ssd to their liking

680m isn't terrible on board graphics honestly. Little faster than a Steamdeck. Throw on SteamOS/Bazzite and you got yourself a stew going.

Is the 7840hs with the 780m a decent upgrade also?

Looking for something to emulate GameCube or Switch games at high levels.

I'd go with the 780m if you want to do switch. It's a decent step up

Thinking about building out a home lab with Proxmox, Home Assistant, pi hole, Minecraft server for the kids. After increasing the ram, would this be a good solution?

My LG Gram with a 13th gen i7 does great with citron-emu on switch games. I have a minisforum miniPC with a 6900HX (680M) that also does great, even at 4k. Remember, emulation is far more CPU bound than GPU.

this + more ram could make it cool, though no longer cost effective.
