Especially because the GPD G1, a new eGPU with an integrated GaN charger is using practically the same GPU as the Framework 16. The latter uses a 7700S while the GPD G1 is using a 7600M XT and as notebookcheck put it "The 7700S is the power efficient version of the RX 7600M XT with slightly reduced clock speeds (-100 MHz) and TDP (-20W max)" but the GPD G1 also has multiple VBios versions for different TDP targets. I am using it to change from the ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 4 to a ThinkPad X1 Nano. The X1E4 is 2kg, I have a third party GaN + SiC charger which is just 330g. The X1 Nano Gen 2 is 970g, the GPD G1 is 920g so the two together is less than the old laptop alone, with a hopefully similar CPU performance and vastly higher GPU performance. And it's much easier to pack, the X1E4 has a hard time fitting in a personal item backpack. Only disadvantage is I can't really game from battery but oh well that was never a goal. Similarly going with the Framework 13 could be an interesting solution.
