Verdict
ASUS ROG XG Mobile
8.5 / 10 Expert Rating
Exceptional performance and portability for its narrow compatibility list, but the closed ecosystem and steep price limit it to committed ROG Flow owners.
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.
