If gaming is a major concern, you might want to look into things more to see how much of a performance hit you'd take us going to an eGPU setup. And you might want to see if you'd prefer to target something with more bandwidth or less overhead than USB4
I use a pair of eGPUs connected over OCuLink for my home lab. But my use case is for LLMs (AI) workloads. In those scenarios, the PCIe bandwidth often makes very little difference. Gaming is a very different use case.

The prices are disappointing. I got a barebones GMKtec K2 with a Ryzen 7 7735HS for ~$300 almost 2 years ago. So it feels like a bad deal. But in reality, it looks like the pricing has gone down appropriately aside from the crazy memory prices.

I'm also considering using an external gpu w it over usb4—if anyone has any experience running, say, an rtx 4060 or similar externally on a system like this I'd love to hear how it went.
