The eX Core promises desktop-grade GPU performance in a pocket-sized form factor

Make any Thunderbolt 3 notebook into a gaming machine with Thunderbolt 3.

This would be very nice to have for someone with a Dell XPS 13 laptop. Get the super thin and light form factor and then whenever you need the extra grunt you plug it in.

Or you could just get the Dell XPS 15 for an integrated 1050 but you pay for that in many ways..

[...] it would be nice to see some 3rd party performance tests to confirm that the eX Core indeed offers a performance advantage over a standard GTX 1050.

And that's where you guys come in, I'd say

Nice Idea, nothing new, really and why OC a 1050 instead of picking a 1060 in the first place?

because it's cheaper and requires less cooling. It's not exactly that big of a heatsink it seems.

Plus you should really only be using a 1080p screen on Laptops, so realistically speaking a 1050 would be a pretty good for many games and even a good renderer option for lighter workloads.

I wouldn't pay 320€ for a 1050, though. But laptop users are used to high pricing :X

And why should we only be using 1080p screens on laptops? Have you never used a high resolution laptop before? I have a 4K 15.4" laptop and the image is crystal clear. I cannot see a individual pixel even with my nose against the screen. It is the perfect resolution for the screen size - a 8K 15.4" screen would be overkill. The only thing that they could really improve on a 15.4" 4K screen is image quality with things like improved colours and HDR with per-pixel lighting.

With a 1080p 15.4" screen you can see the pixels without too much effort (I can and I don't have the best eyesight).

Then why are you even looking at this? There are other external solutions for higher resolution laptops.

The whole point of this is to be small and still powerful enough.
