    I’m running two Lenovo Tiny PCs with the 5650ge for my kids to play minecraft and Fall Guys (can connect them to the VESA mounts on the back of the monitor). This opens up a whole new level of gaming in that micro form factor.

      Assuming you’re serious, no.

      Most modern laptops have soldered down CPUs. Even with older or higher power models that are socketed, it’s been a few decades since they were physically interchangeable between brands, and laptops generally used different sockets to desktops. Sockets also only last a couple of generations.

      You can probably buy a ThinkPad with the (lower power/performance) laptop version of this chip, though
