This is such a 1990s concept. Proprietary, expensive, and will have support dropped before you know it.

[@XDark8SlayerX]

I know right? I think the demographics for this product is so small, that asus will probably drop support in a couple of years

[@teebs90]

That's the sad reality of it. The idea is great though... had they implemented upgradeability options and a non-proprietary connector, we'd have a solid alternative to current egpu offerings. As it stands, this product will only be relevant until nvidia launches their next GPU.

[@MechAdv]

It’s disappointing that there isn’t a a push in the laptop industry to leverage Gen 4 PCIE lanes for EGPU usage over thunderbolt 4. Right now, thunderbolt three is fully saturated and becomes CPU bottlenecked around the 2070 performance level. Asus is out here proving that the E GPU concept isn’t dead yet, but then ruins it by making their product not upgradable. If they had just made the interface link up to a PC i.e. slot and a power supply, we could slap desktop GPUs in there and have a whole new generation of eGPU relevance.

[@testus86]

@@MechAdv you do not understand that this egpu is only 7% in size of a normal one egpu! you can't have flexibility and small size in one

[@MechAdv]

@@testus86 It is indeed significantly smaller, but 7% of the volume at 50% of the performance and 200% the price of a desktop 3080+eGPU enclosure isn’t a trade-off that I’m willing to make. At nearly 2000$, this GPU has the worst price/performance ratio of all time relative to its contemporaries. That’s gotta count for something.

[@jonflowers1370]

I personally love this product. I’m a laptop gamer and the appeal of being able to buy a new external GPU rather than a new laptop every couple of years is appealing. However, for me the ssd is what lets it down. Only coming with 1TB of storage and being difficult to replace makes this product something that is not viable sadly. Game files are too big nowadays to have such limited storage options. I am pleased to see that many of Asus’s new laptops are coming with the option of a 2TB ssd this year though which means that I may well purchase something from their new line.

I study in a different city from my main residence, and I visit home often for extended periods of time. Also, I move almost every course and this one particularly, Im going abroad in an exchange program. All of this makes having a desktop with its screen, mouse and keyboard really inefficient, so a device like that would be really helpful since I still could use the non external gpu mode for my classes and every day portability. Here, the question would be: why, in my case, wouldnt I just get an ultra portable device for productivity and a gaming laptop? With 3299 you can easily get an ultrathin laptop (thinkpad, new macbooks, xps line, etc) with great battery life, nice productivity screen and keyboard and a gaming laptop to keep at your temporary home, maybe a bit heavier but still ok to get in a backpack every month.

*I am, for the first time in the last 8 years I've been following consumer tech, beyond excited by a new Laptop formfactor, more than any previous Thunderbolt eGPU or 3 screen concept, MaxQ and so on !!!* I can legitimately see a future where all the GPUs come out of the laptop to become external docks like this, the benefits are numerous: from improved battery life when u detach the graphics, lighter weight and smaller size of the laptop, ability to bring a lighter USB C charger when on the go, or bring your big charger that's also a USB dock and a 3080M !!! Remember that top spec gaming laptops already come with bulky almost 2lb bricks as chargers... This is a 3080M in a 2.2lb power brick!!! Technology gets cheaper over time so I don't get the sentiment from the comments that this ONE OF A KIND, first gen product is too expensive... It includes a 3080 in it, that alone is a 1300$ product right now, if u can find it at all... I know its not a full desktop 3080 but more like a 10% higher core count and 20% lower clocked 3070, but come on! IT HAS 16GBs of VRAM! U don't get that much in the desktop 3080! Needless to say, I hope this thing catches on and becomes an industry wide trend, with mass adoption of actually good and portable eGPU docks that use x8 PCIe 3.0 (or even better PCIe 4.0 connections, so that the bandwidth limits of previous eGPUs is eliminated) across many different brands and products! It's incredible what Asus engineers have done here, they are pushing the industry forward and I am amazed that some of the comments don't see it this way but are focusing on the price!

This is the kind of innovation and competition I love to see because it pushes the tech forward. AMD have done a great job of waking up Intel. I'm excited to see how Intel is responding from pressure from AMD, Arm, Apple and Microsoft. I love Thunderbolt but Intel need the support of more than just Apple, they need AMD as well. Thunderbolt should switch to PCIe 6.0 to support eGPUs better.

I always liked your adidas track upper!!!.....it suits u! 😌

[@David-zy1jw]

Besides the wow factor people need to use reason and realized you can get a 30 series built in laptop that runs faster all around, for 2/3 of the cost. Asus could of truly wow the world by having a desktop eGPU, but a mobile eGPU at that price? Nope.

[@Tigerex966]

i wish you could buy the laptop by itself. cpu is way faster than the m1, and the m1 cannot use egpu. a m1 macbook pro 2tb is over $2000 with 16gb ram.

Why did they make the 3080 eGPU excusive to only this laptop. They should sell it like Razer Core.

[@Tigerex966]

you have the money..3 million subcribers, payola from the tech companies, stimulus. buy it already.

If you think that it's too expensive, then you're not the target audience

[@fetchstixRHD]

Undoubtedly there will be some people who need this and won't be able to afford it/think it's poor value, but as usual most of those who think it's "too expensive" probably won't actually have the need for it with what they currently use their computer for.

[@karu6111]

Learned this from my dad, he designs and sells high end furniture that normal ppl won’t even dream of buying after looking at the tag... the target audience of this would have other more pressing questions like “does it come in white?” Or “how light is it, does is fit in my bag?”

@@naapsuvaimne740: Eh, depends on your definition of "need" I guess. There will be some exceptions of course, but you won't for example hear me complaining that a tractor costs a lot of money, as I do absolutely no farm work and it would be overkill for me as a city dweller to use one for going to a supermarket(!)

I feel like it would be the perfect product for me, the fact that the eGPU has all the ports included and charges the device, combined with the pen support for the touchscreen makes it really versatile: you can have a 2 monitor setup at home, use the laptop screen as imput for drawing, then on the go have an all-in-one. Its sad it is so expensive.

[@jonathanr4160]

Nothing about this seems good value to me considering how neutered it is to the actual desktop 3080 considering the price of this whole set up... Just a very niche expensive product that will likely be discontinued in 3 years.

[@micha8469]

That's a good approach to the external GPU. Definitely a viable option to always have a mobile laptop and a choice of mobile gaming laptop and with GPU in a separate casing which is great from thermal perspective. Would be nice to see this progress and close the gap between desktop GPU version. Most of the time people play games at home so they could take the laptop with without the external GPU and in less often scenarios there is still the comfortable option to take it with you, a laptop backpack is definitely enough to put it in. Also if the connection standard is kept and the GPUs pool will expand with new GPUs being released, that can easily replace a desktop for someone who wants the ability to play games without resigning from mobility. In a perfect world I would see this as a standard for any laptop using some standard interface which would be fast enough for GPU. Promising but with Nvidia closing the gap more and more between their desktop vs mobile GPUs, there is a chance that won't be needed much longer. 3070 Super looks SUPER in comparison to mobile 2080. The only thing left to do is for producers to make a real difference regarding cooling systems. They are getting better but are still far from what's needed atm.

[@alviszhao]

A brief remark on the price: this product is selling on JD.com (mainland china) for 9000RMB (about $1200) and only the FHD model is listed. So I doubt if the pair would cost as high as $3299. Probably ROG will have some gigantic sales on the MSRP.

I loved the ending where you plug in the GPU and it's Cyberpunk: ON
