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.
RIITOP OCuLink eGPU Dock
4.5 / 10 Expert Rating
The cheapest way into OCuLink eGPU, but a bare-bones product from a lesser-known brand with no built-in PSU convenience.
