A genuinely novel liquid-cooled eGPU that delivered flagship 2019-era performance quietly, at a steep fixed-GPU price.
Lenovo Legion BoostStation
6.5 / 10 Expert Rating
A solid, unremarkable Thunderbolt 3 enclosure whose main selling point is matching Legion hardware rather than beating established competitors on specs or price.
