Gaming laptop for any laptop
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Want to have a gaming laptop but not have to carry around a brick ton that doesn't fit anywhere and isn't convenient? This is it chief, you throw in a 2080ti and your small laptop becomes a gaming machine sitting on a desk. Take the same laptop and use it around the house, work and school and keep it with you. Desktop replacement requires desktop technologies like this. It's worth it.

Works Perfectly
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I haven't built a PC in years, but this case is the easiest thing in the world to open and close. I added my graphic card, hooked everything up and it's worked perfectly with my MacBook Pro (2018) on macOS Mojave. I use it for editing video and it definitely helps. The boost you get depends on 1) the application's use of the eGPU and 2) the power of the GPU you select. When it comes to the latter, spend more = get more.

Good produce for what it is designed to do
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This worked well - for what is is designed to do. If you have a non-gaming laptop and want to make it nearly as good as a gaming laptop - this should do it. But you will need to use external monitors to make it work well. Having the signal "loop back" to the laptop's own monitor really does slow it down. However, even with an external monitor - I chose to return it and but a real desktop gaming computer. So it works - but not as good as a dedicated gaming computer - but it is not expected to work that way.

Works as advertised
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works very well and keeps it simple. The hardest part is the software on the laptop but you just have to download the drivers for the card in the amplifier. Every time you disconnect you have to reinstall the driver for the card built into your machine but only takes a minute. The trade off is that your thin and light laptop can be a gaming powerhouse on your desktop. I am using Blade Stealth 13" with 1650 ti and a full 1070 in amplifier.

Nice alternative to a bulky PC build
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you're looking for a little boost to your laptop, this is it. You can throw in almost any new gen graphics card and it will let you game at better performance. Given, throwing that same card in a PC would yield better performance, this gets the job done.
