The housing is meant to handle a beast of a graphics card. I needed a solution for both the Mac OS environ and PC world. So I went with a used AMD card (VEGA FE). The CHroma Core X handles the GPU perfectly. It doesn't even look bad on the desktop. The USB hub disconnecting is a real issue, but fortunately, I don't need those ports.

My initial impression of this product was pretty good. I was impressed with the build quality and the looks. After installing my card and downloading the software the experience was as expected. I played for a few hours and went to bed. The next morning I started up my computer and ran into a "Thunderboldt device may not work properly" message... Cutting to the chase here, I've tried everything from reinstalling drivers to a clean installation of windows with moderate success. I have yet to pinpoint the exact causes of my woes but the "true plug and play" experience should not be trusted as advertised. Also holy hell, it's much heavier than I imagined it would be(which I guess is a testament to it's build quality). People don't really talk about that but I guess this is a good thing. RGB is worth it when it decides it's going to work. TL;DR: I had a lot of trouble getting this to work consistently with my laptop (Lenovo yoga 15") your mileage may vary depending on your hardware and if they have worked out the software bugs.Read full review

The Core X Chroma is an amazing choice for folks with a thunderbolt laptop that want to enjoy desktop class performance with a full-sized GPU. It also doubles as a docking station for 4 USB ports and provides enough power to charge my laptop as well. Slotted with a modern graphics card I was able to push out incredible framerates to my 49" Samsung Odyssey G9 from a LAPTOP. A+

Clean design, with super convenient usb connections. Waiting on a graphics card to come in, but I'm sure it will all be worth it and working fine upon arrival.

Don't even think about traveling with this thing. With the gpu it comes out to like 15 pounds. It's ridiculous, and I think a little unnecessary. They could have used lighter materials that were just as strong
