Do you think that external-GPU solutions for laptops will finally begin to take off with developments like Razers breakout box?
Razer is using the new standard USB-C connector, relying on the expanded bandwidth of Thunderbolt 3 to handle the high-speed communication requirements of a pixel-crunching GPU. At launch, the Razer Core is only compatible with the Blade Stealth, but Razer tells me that it's "not doing anything to close off the Thunderbolt 3 connection to make it proprietary [and would] love to see as many devices as possible compatible with it."
