I agree that gaming laptops are a bad idea. I only suggested the ROG because it's a good value if one were to get one. They have the limited hardware customization of a laptop and the portability of an all in one desktop. Because the money goes into the performance, a lot of them seem to be built cheapy as well lol. This System76 thing, (btw, likely a rebadged Clevo or Sager given their history) has a plastic bezel, maybe that's normal idk. I like the idea of a nicely built ultra book with an eGPU. But I'd imagine the performance would be lost compared to PCIe, not to mention unpredictable support.

I'm using a Framework Laptop now, which apparently supports eGPU. Although, the video I saw was from someone doing it on Windows. I might give it a try maybe next year to play with one in Linux. But yes, I expect it to be under-performant against a PCIe
