Thinking about traveling demo setups for ngscopeclient and thunderscope. Requirements: * Smaller is better * PCIe gen2 x4 or thunderbolt 3 host port for TS * Decent internal GPU or free pcie slot for an nvidia card Open to laptop, mini pc, SBC, or any other form factor but ideally it should fit in a carryon sized pelican case along with whatever else I'm demoing it attached to. What is the lowest cost/smallest form factor minimum viable setup if i don't care about GPU performance but need functional vulkan? What about if I want something decently powerful? I have a base model M4 mac mini that is functional but needs an external keyboard/mouse/monitor and the GPU is somewhat wimpy compared to higher end apple silicon. I also have a spare RTX 2080 Ti but nothing to house it in.

    Update: turns out my wife's framework 16 has thunderbolt despite having an AMD chipset, i thought this was an intel exclusive feature. Problem solved.
