I’m on an old Xbox and it’s showing its age but I don’t game enough to justify buying a whole gaming PC. If I can plug a GPU into my work machine and play some games? Now that’s compelling. The fact that it wouldn’t have all the cringey “gamer” decorations you see on the average gaming laptop would be a bonus too.&lt;p&gt;(all that said a Steam Deck is probably still the more compelling purchase for me in that regard, I’ve been eyeing one for a while)</text><parent_chain><item><author>dakial1</author><text>I wonder if there is a market for a framework gaming laptop.
