A 1050 Ti might not be the most scorching hot GPU on the planet, of course, but it's still a very capable part for the 1080p era and great for the sorts of games you'd likely be playing during your commute anyway. And pairing it with a Core i5-8300H processor means it's a nice little machine for your daily productivity stuff, too, so it'll fit as well on your office desk as on your lap on a plane.
