Standard ITX graphics card functioning as an external GPU
I possess a mini ITX board and its case. My board features a Thunderbolt 3 port, and I also have a 1060 6GB SSD nearby. This concept arose after my latest purchase—a Razer Blade Stealth. I explored other gaming laptops but found they leaned more toward performance over comfort. For casual gaming, eGPU enclosures seemed too demanding. Have you ever considered using a desktop as an eGPU for a laptop? I believe this could become more common, allowing you to connect an SSD with a Steam library, access extra RAM, a GPU, Ethernet, and even use a standard USB-C port on your desk machine.
You can use steam at home streaming. This means the games play on your PC and send the stream to your laptop via ethernet or wifi. If you need a PC with a GPU that has a thunderbolt port, there isn’t one available.
You already possess much of the setup. It would be wise to invest a bit in a CPU and HDD to create a solid system. Preserve the longevity of your ultrabook.
