I actually have a second iteration of the HX90 (sans liquid metal). Nice little system – especially if you can find it on sale and/or barebones. Only iGPU Vega graphics, so not for gaming (beyond simple/casual games).

I tell you who its for . mobile music producers. I personally hate laptop fan noise from gaming laptops when I'm trying to make music, this is perfect for mobile music production, and then gaming and editing at home.

Honestly, I like the idea of just being able to easily swap a specialized CAD GPU for a good gaming GPU.

for who would use this question. I was actually looking for something like this. I'm a geological engineer that lives in a tiny home near the construction site. The intention is three-fold, one i can adjust how much power i am consuming from my tiny home. If i have the power to spare from my solar panels, i can plug it in completely and use the gpu, if i dont, i can get by with just running the brick. Second, this allows me to have the power coming from two different places. I use a 12v system at home. Having the brick on its own power circuit is a 10 amp current which brushes up against the limits of a standard dc outlet, so i'd need a seperate outlet to run a gpu. This set up allows me to that without installing a 30 amp 12v dc outlet system which gets expensive. Thirdly, this would allow me to do small on the fly things in the field then go to the office for power intensive things. what disappoints me was the upgradeability discussed. As an alternative, the beelink gtr6 has a ryzen 9 6900hx, it doesnt sound like that will work with this.

9:36 could be utilized by students who are in constant change of place (like international students who needs to return their homes in certain times). You might say "if they are on constant move, how they will manage a monitor?" well, short answer is, there are many tablet-esque monitors such as MSI's monitor. They are around 200 pounds regarding to their screen quality and easy to carry.

That shadow thingie casing was more interesting

hx90g with 5900x e 6600 are fire, review the last version

i would want it, but with a 4800u, usb 19V PD powered because I could actually run it on powerbank and plug to a portable monitor, or just the monitor of my liking for the occasion, such as an e-ink (and we know there are no e-ink laptops, btw). And being able to plug a proper gpu for VR is great. Such setup is even better for power consumption.

I'm gonna use this for my pioneer ddj 400 controller. I don't want the GPU when I'm just out at the park or something. I also like the portable monitors over a laptop build because they lay more flat and don't block people from viewing me. You guys do make good points about the ITX builds but I do like that I can take this thing home and dock it as a second PC/ark survival evolved server using an extra old GPU I have laying around. If I want to go do a show somewhere, I grab it, throw it in its nice lil case it comes with, no need for GPU or PSU. I think also, as a second PC it might do well for streaming with a usb capture card pulling video from my main PC without using extra resources while running a game on that main PC. IDK tho, will repost when I get it built and find all the flaws in my plan.

In the description, 3800x3d was accidentily written instead of 5800x3d

They need PCIE 4x Dock and make that dock bracket more open, to fit larger cards like the RTX4090.

Why don't they just make laptops with PCIE slot for external GPU?

This would be useful for someone like my wife who does custom designs for t-shirts, mugs and almost anything you can customize.

She currently uses a nuc because she can have her POS on it at craft shows and still get work done. However when she's at home using programs for light editing(especially videos to promote for TikTok) the nuc just isn't quite enough and it would be nice to have a GPU. We both have gaming PC's but they are separate from her workshop.

I'm thinking to get one of these. My case use? Not much space to fit a tower. Down here, São Paulo Brasil I will spend too much money into a notebook that WILL throttle as soon as I turn on blender and Unity.

Parts are a nightmare to find around here. And if you guys keep yelling "get a notebook dumbass" I will remind you that there is not a vast variety of notebooks available around here, and, you only have 2 kidneys.

I bought one. I like it. I have a unique situation where I spend anywhere from days to weeks at work without going home.since I spend more time at work the dock lives in my lounge area and the awesome case that came with it moves the computer between. home and work. I'm working on setting up a projector at home so I don't have to move the portable monitor which is far too large to be considered portable. I paid 750 for mine not 900. not sure where you got that price from?

today a GPU is bigger than a Desktop PC 😀

For the price this thing can't really be beat. especially when the 5700g and 5600g apus are so discounted right now. 630 bucks all in for the barebones plus 5600g 1tb nvme ssd and 32 gigs ddr4 3200. I already have a spare psu and gpu and I am going to have the setup at my parent's place for when I come visit so I can keep the main system with me and install game updates before I go visit. pretty niche use case but there is no way you can get a gaming laptop anywhere near this fast for 630 bucks, crazy good deal.

I can see this being handy for either an underdesk-mounted solution (you would need to make some serious brackets) for a gaming rig, or media unit to attach to a TV. It's niche but I'm sure someone has a use for it.

Mine seems to have died after six weeks of ownership. Anyone else having problems?
