Thunderbolt Charging

Support answered my question. External monitors can't charge Razer Pro's due to wattage limitations.

Blade Pro 17 w/ eGPU?

JoikansaiYes, especially Blade Pro 2019 with rtx2070 and 2080 maxq that use high 100 watt+ tdp that make it the best in its class (not quite sure about 2060 one), so in order to get performance improvement over your dgpu (on some titles, or maybe your work load) you’ve to get 2080ti. I know some Blade 15 users who use egpu in order to get better cpu thermal, it translates to longer lifespan since heat might wear the parts inside faster. If your thermal is fine and have a 2070/2080 version I wouldn’t get egpu setting. My Blade 15 is 2018 1070maxq one, even with 2080 @1080p 1070maxq mostly outperforms 2080egpu setting (1070maxq Blade use also high gpu tdp 90 watt unlike some other brands 80 watt), I only see huge improvement on 4K resolution or triple monitor gaming which’s good (less TB3 bandwidth penalty) on this setting. I'm not on a 4k display. My gaming is done on my 34" ultrawide. I do plan on upgrading to Samsungs Odyssey G9 (when ever its available). I am also looking for lon

Blade Pro 17 w/ eGPU?

JoikansaiIt’ll cost you a lot since gaming laptops (despite current stealth maybe) isn’t made for the setting and even when you try it, assuming you’ve lowest rtx2060, you’ve to get an 2080ti to get advantage from the setting, even though there’re some titles that play not well on this setting due TB3 limitation. However there’s also some advantage using egpu setting with gaming laptops, because of dgpu inside laptop would be off there will be huge thermal room left inside that make significant cpu thermal improvement. I can confirm it since I’ve the setting with Blade 15, rtx2080 corev2. Other advantage that I get is that I can play some titles better on higher resolution especially 4K, but again it’s not all the titles. The reason why I have egpu setting is because I’ve (had) ultrabook to pair with, MBP13 (RIP) and Blade stealth. Hope this will give you some vision, of course you can ask me any other thing but I don’t do video editing mostly gaming. Thank you for getting back to me.
