Verdict
Dell / Alienware Alienware Graphics Amplifier
6 / 10 Expert Rating
Strong bandwidth for its era, but locked to a short list of older Alienware and Dell G-Series laptops.
GIGABYTE AORUS GTX 1070 Gaming Box
6 / 10 Expert Rating
A convenient plug-and-play eGPU for its era, but the fixed GTX 1070 is now well behind current GPU generations.
