Verdict
Lenovo ThinkPad Thunderbolt 3 Graphics Dock
4.5 / 10 Expert Rating
A promising idea — dock plus eGPU in one — undermined by well-documented compatibility and reliability issues at launch.
PowerColor Devil Box
5 / 10 Expert Rating
A historically significant early Thunderbolt 3 eGPU box, but bare-bones even by the standards of its own era and long discontinued.
