I wonder if we'll ever see the middle step covered - we got tons of mini PCs with integrated graphics, and more of these tiny workstations are slowly appearing, yet we are still so completely short on mini PCs with gaming-capable dGPU options.
Like take my heavy and clunky Lenovo Legion 5 notebook with 13th-gen CPU and Geforce 4060 GPU, rip the display off and throw it the innards in a small cube with proper cooling already.
I don't care if it's $1k+, it's annoying that we don't have this sort of mini PC more widely available at this point.
