It only has an APU

Like every somewhat modern game console.

and some AI core bullshit.

Yeah, why would frame generation have anything to do with gaming...

Edit: typo

If integrated graphics counts as a "gaming PC" then every PC and laptop made in the past 15 years, including Chromebooks count as a "Gaming PC".

Yeah, why would an iGPU so beefy, it's in the same league as a GeForce 4060 be called a gaming GPU? OUTRAGEOUS!

Also, Unexposedhazard used the term "gaming device".

Point is, we have had comparable systems for years that you can buy for less money, and are actually repairable and upgradable. Here's one in a similar form factor (with a 4060) that was built a year ago: https://youtu.be/P2CUi9W2DI0

Actually, it's not a point to the part I've replied to. The statement was solely that this APU-using PC must not be called a gaming device and I've pointed out the flaw in that claim. I did not make a comment regarding upgadability.

It's extremely gaming-capable and it is a PC. You can argue it's not in the traditional mould of gaming PC's if you want, but it's by any reasonable definition a "Gaming PC".

So, by that metric, the Steam Deck, Lenovo Legion Go and ROG Ally are laptops I guess.
