Steam Machine alternative

I love my aoostar gem12+ ryzen 8845hs 780m but I’m running an egpu with it also. It’s awesomely designed and you can get it bare bones for under 350 and tailor make it like I did. 64g ddr5 4tb ssd I got all on eBay much much under current prices brand new.

Question about the GEM12

Best graphics card to pair with HP OmniBook Ultra with Ryzen 9 HX 375
