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 RTX 2070 Gaming Box

6.5 / 10 Expert Rating

Solid Turing-era performance in a tidy fixed package, though the premium over a bare enclosure plus card was steep even at launch.
