I have to echo this here. you've spec'd a 3600X and 5700XT. I really don't think mid range parts belong in SFF for travel, because you can spend a moderate bit more and get a high end laptop with equivalent performance which has real usability advantages (use it on the train/bus/while waiting at airport etc). dont forget with a laptop you're starting out ahead with the built in screen, so if you bring your portable display you're getting a dual monitor setup right off the bat.Minimum spec for it to be worthwhile (and it'll once again become non-worthwhile within a year or 2 tops) today is 5900X and RTX 3070. You still can't quite match that with a max spec laptop today, and itll run a lot cooler and quieter. The build I'll be running is 5950X + RTX 3080, but I am under no delusions that after a year or so that traveling with it will be more of some kind of a sentimental factor rather than true practical utility.
