Check out Miniforums HX90G/HX99G. Might be exactly what you're looking for.
I am currently still using my HX90G daily and when travel more than a week
This is one that is on my radar, a bit on the more expensive side, at least compared to the console alternatives, but that's expected. You always get a discount with a console since they're counting on profits from game sales to make up the difference.
Performance is slightly better than the Intel/1070 combo I'm using in the interim. The current system is a huge eyesore, which is why I'm trying to replace it.
Before finding this gem, my front running idea was to pair a framework main board with a thunderbolt eGPU, but buying even a used GPU with the cost of an enclosure was going to add more than $1000 to the cost. It's likely more performant than even the minisforum options and others, with the ability to swap the GPU for upgrades, but I'm not sure how likely that is in the first place.
The current system is older and in a medium tower case, it's a full custom build. Way too big to hide and needs pretty much everything upgraded, so rather than keep the eyesore and spend the money on a new main board/RAM/CPU/SSD etc, getting a smaller and more descreet system is preferable.
The HX-whatevrG definitely will be much better in term of look and size.
I would not go the eGPU way. Interested from the first time it was a thing, and still now, and still no buy. They are stupidly expensive, and tbh, a fucking eyesore. They are size of a normal SFF case, but now you lose all the benefit on performance. And the small one from GPD with a 6600M? Cost nearly the same as my HX90G, and even for oculink, it is still have less bandwidth than my HX90G.
