Razor Core Versatility

[himustache2]

So the Razor Core hasn't came out yet, it says it can be connected to the Razer Stealth by Thunderbolt 3 port, so can any laptop with a Thunderbolt 3 port connect to the Razer Core?

I am seriously banking on this. I am getting an Acer Aspire R13.

I have seriously scoured the internet looking for info about external gpus and there's not a whole lot out there. Enterprise grade eGPU kits cost like $700 so it's just out of the question for regular people. 

 

Who knows if it will be compatible with other companies laptops though.

To be honest, I doubt it'll work w/ other computers... if Razer makes it I think they would only want it to work w/ Razer computers.. marketing

Razer has said they won't restrict it, however it's up to other companies to enable it to be supported.

Yah, I was thinking of getting a XPS 15 and it has a Thunderbolt 3 port, then I went one the Razer website and it said it connects using Thunderbolt 3

I think its a somewhat universal system, so if the laptop you are getting has its own egpu solution, then using a box from another vendor would work no problem.

Hopefully...Won't kill me but would be nice if it worked

As long as they arent using a proprietary solution (luckily, they arent) any computer that has a PCIe lane through thunderbolt should theoretically work with it.

Cool

As long as it is not like the Alienware Graphics Amplifier

You'll need a BIOS update from dell before you can use eGPUs on the xps afaik

Hope so. I want to get an eGPU for my xps 15.
