I purchased this for my Asus ally and was not disappointed. I wish it was integrated better as far as Bios updates go as I always have to re-enable the Xg-mobile after a Bios update but overall just a minor inconvenience.
Gaming wise this handels everything I throw at it such as Robocop in 4k, Gears 4 and 5 and right now playing Like A dragon man who erased his name in full 4k no dlss or anything, getting 60 fps.
If you are on Ebt this is not for as as it's expensive but if you can afford it's worth it.

The device woros very well. I have read many reviews about the annoying side of connection and stuff, but honestly to me there's some sort of retro appeal to that nice plug in, and on the more modern side of things I actually enjoy that there's a menu that confirms the switch over and does the whole process for you, it leaves no room for wondering whether or not your eGPU is active. I think it works very well, and is very powerful

This thing is a beast of a machine definitely can play some really high settings on it very impressed with the device not disappointed in any way you don't mind spending the money it's worth it. Play Mortal Kombat 1 at 4K. At 60 frames per second definitely worth it.

This was a purchase for my Asus ROG Ally to boost the GPU prowess. It works amazingly, but bottlenecks on games that are more CPU intensive. Unfortunately theres no comprehensive list to distinguish between the two, so YMMV when buying this.

It's good for what it is. It's stronger than my 4080 ROG laptop. At the end of the day, I returned it for a proper 4090 desktop gpu. I got a 3080 XG Mobile for the ally and it's all I need for portable gaming. Any of the XG models will get you travel portability (think hotel stays for work) for on the go PC gaming.

Got scammed

Got this as a Christmas present and when they received it, the card was labled as the 4090 but we received a RX 6850M instead. Took me way to long to figure out why nvidias drivers were failing. Don't waste your money.

Early adopter here, been waiting on this type of set up for a long time and while it can be a bit laborious to set up...imo it is worth it. Love having this connected to my Z13.

The product in question has proven to be non-functional, despite assurances from Best Buy support that it was compatible with my system. The product's performance was inadequate, and it failed to meet my expectations. It is important to note that I was relying heavily on this product to complete an essential task, and its failure has resulted in a significant loss of productivity.

This has made my Rog Ally a beast of a desktop replacement. No regrets here. If you are in the eco system this is a good choice.
