Don’t they have an EU version of their website?

The UK one is expensive af, I would rather buy the one from the US 

Don't. There are better choices.

If you do, you do know you get charged VAT on top of the price, and likely duty, right?

@dizmo @Chunchunmaru_ Just to add to that I'd like to mention my experiences with that.

If you buy an item in the US and it's worth over £20 you'll be forced to pay 20% VAT + duty. In all likelihood it's not going to be cheaper unless the item in the US is half the price or less.

Unless the US price is 50% lower it's really not worth it because of all the stuff they slap on.

On my Vega 56 I imported in early 2019, I bought it for $300 USD but I was forced to pay £80 in VAT and duty. So it didn't turn out horrible for me cos of the awful GPU prices at the time but if the US thing isn't insanely cheaper than the UK version it's not worth it at all.

nvm I just asked the razer support about it and said they don't ship outside the official store unless it's a b2b 

@Chunchunmaru_ If it ends up being cheaper after tax (both US and your country) and duty, then there are companies that will mail it to you; you just get it sent to their US address instead of your own. It does cost, however it's generally not that expensive and the shipping would likely be cheaper due to their commercial rates.

I'm thinking in just buying a Thinkpad X Extreme with a Razer Core X Chroma enclousure since I will probably game on it only at home 

@Chunchunmaru_ For the price of that enclosure, you'd be better off just building an entire system for when you're at home. Then you don't have the performance degradation to contend with.

having a single system/computer and data is my plan from the beginning since I have a desktop rn

also I don't really care about performance tbh as long I can play at medium-low settings the few games I play

That's why an external enclosure makes absolutely no sense. Why wouldn't you just buy a gaming laptop?

If you pay hundreds of dollars for an enclosure, and then add the GPU, which will perform one tier lower (lost performance, so you're spending considerably more to get the performance you want), you might as well just buy an entire system, which will cost the same or less, and be more useful.

because I don't really need a gaming laptop but something business oriented and lightweight where I can also play a few non-demanding games decently at home, I have to bring all my data with me for my job, virtual machines, server dumps etc, a strong battery and having just to plug an external GPU at home, with two monitors where I can also play games when I want is really comfy, I already own an old 1060 and that would be more than enough for me

consider also my 144hz monitor only has a dvi input and usbc-dual link dvi adapters are really expensive (about 1/4 of an entire full gpu enclosure, that's crazy) 

I'm not ramping up the video settings on my desktop to high anyway, just reaching 144 fps with medium-low settings like now is enough

Having two computers is something I don't want, I already have an internal cloud where I can but everytime I miss something I need to plug two computers at time and that becomes frustrating, considering the kind of the job I do I really need to be fast but I can't just replicate everything on two computers (like copying an entire virtual machine for a single edit is crazy) or a single shared network or usb storage, a single gigabit link wouldn't be enough

also, lenovo offers 3 years of warranty and that's really nice

If I could just buy a razer blade that would be more than enough since it has a decent battery, but considering the hassle I have to go through like asking someone to buy it for me... I prefer it this way, I would probably need an enclosure with an external GPU anyway in this case unless I change my monitors 

There are plenty of gaming laptops that look perfectly at home in an office setting.

Your 1060 will get 1050, maybe 1050Ti level performance. If you're fine with that, then great.

Don't get a Razer enclosure though, they're needlessly overpriced. Like most Razer products.

Yeah I know but that’s the best I can find atm, other enclosures are expensive like hell here

the main point I’m going with a razer one is basically the ethernet port and the 4 USB outputs 

I mean the other ones are not much cheaper
