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.
Sonnet eGFX Breakaway Box 350
6 / 10 Expert Rating
A niche but well-executed pick for single-slot cards and quiet operation, not for gaming-class GPUs.
