The minisforum UM790 Pro is something I've looked at too.

It can handle many games at good settings already. It also has USB 4.0 which will allow you to connect it to an eGPU for higher end gaming.

EDIT: Today, I'm running a Lenovo P14s AMD Gen 4 which is slightly slower. For the price, the performance has been amazing.

I paid $590 for the minisforum UM700 in 2021 [0], now worth ~$215. Ryzen 7 3750H. Upgraded the 16GB RAM to 32GB which was another 50 bucks or something I can't remember.

Been my daily driver desktop since 2021.

I play Victoria 3, Cities Skylines, Valheim. And develop on it. Both Windows programs and also Linux stuff SSH-ed into my beefier dev servers.

I've also done some light video recording and editing.

I've run out of disk space now so I think I'll grab an external drive. But I'd buy one of these again.
