Verdict

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.

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.
