This Thunderbolt 3 enclosure houses a full-size desktop graphics card and connects to a laptop with one cable. Unlike hub-style rivals it keeps things minimal: a single Thunderbolt 3 port is the only data connector on the back, alongside the power inlet. That port pushes up to 85W back to the notebook, so many laptops charge while gaming. A 650W internal supply feeds cards drawing up to 500W.
Thunderbolt 3 eGPU enclosure with a single TB3 port, 85W laptop charging, and a 650W internal power supply.
