Can a laptop and external graphics enclosure replicate desktop performance? The arrival of the 8th Gen Blade Stealth Ultrabook came as no surprise - Razer was always going to take the opportunity to refresh its machine with a quad-core processor - but we hadn't expected to see a new-and-improved external graphics enclosure quite so soon.

Core v2, launched alongside the upgraded Blade Stealth, follows in the footsteps of the original by promising to "seamlessly transform highly mobile Thunderbolt 3 laptops into a desktop-class gaming experience." The premise is simple enough; take a desktop graphics card, pop it inside the Core v2 enclosure, attach to a compatible laptop via a single Thunderbolt 3 Type-C cable and tap into all of that GPU goodness.
