Also unveiled today is the Razer Core X, a Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) external graphics enclosure. The new Core X integrated graphics laptops like the Razer Blade Stealth into desktop-class gaming machines by adding an external graphics card.

Designed with a standard Thunderbolt 3 connection, the Core X is compatible with Razer Blade laptops and systems running Windows and macOS (specifically, Windows 10 Redstone 1 or later, and macOS High Sierra 10.13.4 or later with compatible AMD Radeon cards). Razer compatible laptops include the Razer Blade Stealth, Razer Blade and Razer Blade Pro (GTX 1060 version). Additional Windows 10 laptops require a Thunderbolt 3 port with external graphics (eGFX) support.

The Razer Core X features an expanded internal design with a wider aluminum shell to accommodate up to 3-slot-wide desktop graphics cards. The Core X supports the latest desktop PCIe graphics cards such as NVIDIA GeForce, NVIDIA Quadro, and AMD XConnect enabled Radeon and Radeon Pro cards.

The Razer Core X embraces plug-and-play capabilities with the Thunderbolt 3 USB-C connection to the laptop. The Thunderbolt 3 connection also yields fast speeds at up to 40 Gbps.

The Razer Core X houses a massive 650W ATX power supply to provide adequate power for the latest and future graphics cards. A single Thunderbolt 3 connection to the laptop now provides 100W of power for laptop charging.

Physical installation of a desktop graphics card takes seconds with the Razer Core X. Its aluminum housing slides open easily, and the graphics card is secured in place with a thumb screw for a toolless setup.

The Razer Core X is now available at US $299 for order today in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, France, Germany and China, and shipping soon to the Nordics, Australia, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore and Taiwan.
