Its just bizarre looking.

But since they have the software(and BIOS??) advanced enough, why not just start offering an ATX or mATX board with (matx) 3 or (atx) 7 pcie slots on it?

Why the Mickey Mouse games? Is this the launching pad to actually offer said boards, is that in an announcement somewhere?

Last time I checked, you're limited to PCIe 2.0 x1, maybe PCIe 3.0 x1 (unstable). Which I'm guessing is still much better than the integrated graphics, but if you want small-ish form factor gaming, you could do much better with a used office PC that can take a graphics card.

The integrated Radeon 780m on Ryzen 7840HS/Z1 Extreme is around 1.9x the performance of a RX460 plugged into an PCIe 3.0 x16 slot.
