I was also looking at these to clear some space on my desk, but they're not really good for gaming. You're limited to "integrated graphics" which is still second-tier compared to a separate GPU chip.

You can drive a dGPU/eGPU on many of these either over USB/TB or breaking out PCIe directly.

(That said, the featured chip runs many recent games fine on high/1080)
