    Because you want that sort of hardware for a project? E.g. small PC for some lower end gaming, maybe optional eGPU via Oculink on it. That’d be a neat combo.

    … Which sucks in my case, since I just bought one begrudgingly, as no X3D version was available.

      But…why? Why wouldn’t you use a standard ITX PC that costs less, has better performance, and is actually repairable/upgradeable?

        Because this is smaller and uses less energy due to laptop components.

        Sometimes that outweighs having an upgradeable mini itx based system.
