no chroma btw.
It'll work with ANY laptop?! :hushed:
very nice! :D
Danzle1991the new RB15 have a new power connection. so you will not use the X to charge it. but still more connectivity would have been appreciated.
Shame it doesn't get the USB HUB and LAN connection. Would have been the best enclosure if you could have a eGPU, LAN, device charging/power and all your USB stuff connected with just a single cable. The X charges with 100W while the Corev2 onky has 65W, which might not be enough with the new RB15 considering it's coffe lake CPU.
A bit bulky i might say, you really need a lot of space to carry it. But as long as it does it's job, i like it.
vampirivanPlus Chroma plus price, Razer was working hard to get it under $300;)
no chroma btw.
FrozenFireVRYes as long as it has TB3 port, but I think old TB like 2 and 1(with Apple TB3 Adapter) should also work as like other eGPU enclosure but with lower bandwidth, like 16gb for TB2 and 8gb for tb1 instead 32gb for TB3.

Danzle1991Plus it the price won’t be under $300, remember Razer Tax;) Gaming Laptops aren’t designed for usb C charge, even if it could it would be super slow like XPS 15, Blade 15 has its own charge connection so it won’t be matter pairing both host and device.

Not a fan.
I was waiting for a Razer Core knowing a new one was coming out. But no USB or Ethernet!? :(
Personally I dont see this as much of an upgrade from the V2. Sure this has extra space but that means nothing to me when I would otherwise have to purchase a separate laptop dock for the USB and Ethernet.
Did the V2 have issues with the ethernet/usb? The simplicity of having one cable for egpu, ethernet, and usb is a game changer. Why did they get rid of it in this model? I am just wondering if there is some reason I shouldn't buy the V2. I am wondering if this is a upgrade or just a cheaper model with less features?
good part about nothing else than the gpu connected is that you don t share your bandwith.
so less bottleneck.
is the bandwith between the core x and the laptop the same as the old core v1/v2 or is there a new connectivity allowing less bottleneck?
how much bandwith a 1080ti would need to not suffer any bottleneck at all if used in a core?
TIGERSEYEawesome643Tiger, I think you are not understanding this launch. The Core v2 has not been discontinued, it is very much still available and will continue to be sold. The Core X is intended as a cheaper model, with only the eGPU functionality as that is what many people need. They are two different products: the more expensive Core v2 with more features, and the basic Core X.

Good that I can replace the power supply. Sad about the size and that you dropped the USB pass through :(
This this this this!!! Great price point... it's bigger and fits more cards, and has better PSU power allocation. This is a total Win guys way to go Razer!
"... i like it, alot..." what more can i say. When i finally win a Blade at Mogul ;), this baby is going to be mine.
This actually looks epic. Finally can game on the go
reloader-1that price is excluding gpu, i assume ?
This is nice. $299 is the sweet spot for this!
A docking system worth having.
The price point is a winner...
Finally caters to different users with different needs and different budget points!
iubjavedCorrect.
that price is excluding gpu, i assume ?
The things I would buy if I had the money...
Lenox.J.LowThat’s called the Core V2.
It looks very big, if the size of the machine can be reduced, then it will be perfect
