Is the PC that fits in the palm of your hand really capable of playing 4K games?

The LarkBox confused me a little bit as it is so small, at 61mm*61mm*43mm, how can it have enough power to run 4K games and if it can, then how come it doesn't overheat? I would love to see a review on one of these but even so, I am just curious if anyone has used one of these and what the catch is.image.jpeg.6ff4c0307e51706d9b452d5f1278c58c.jpeg

It never claimed to be able to run 4K games; just to run a 4K display. It has a Celeron mobile chip, it's not something completely groundbreaking.

It doesn't mention anything about games on its product page; only 4K streaming (of Netflix and YouTube stuff).

It might just be able to do 4K gaming; by using your computer/a service (like GeForce Now) to stream games from.

It can't game at 4k or at least well. It uses an Intel J4115, which is nowhere powerful enough to play games at 4k. You can use it to browse the web and can watch 4k video, but gaming at 4k won't be fun.
