Looking for a cheap portable PC solution. Anyway I can make a mini-PC that can run things like League of Legends (well) and Dota Auto Chess? Don't wanna spend much because it's only for a few times a month. I have a pre-built mini-PC now and it can run League, but it's not great. 40 FPS and the menu lags like crazy. I'd prefer to use something a little better, maybe even with a small dedicated gpu. Or at least maybe a Ryzen APU. Problem is, I want it as small as possible. At the VERY BIGGEST the size of a PS4, but I'd prefer smaller.
There are a lot of NUC options out there, including many with dedicated GPU's. I have a Gigabyte BRIX myself that I use as a pocket server, don't have the dedicated gpu on that model. They are super compact, and the lower end models are quite cheap. If you want a model with a discrete GPU the prices tend to climb, and because the memory and drives are the same as laptop components they usually cost more on average then a comparable desktop component.
Another option to consider is just getting a gaming laptop. Also gonna be a little more expensive then a cheap portable PC, but also a lot more versatile.
