Desktop-Class Graphics Performance

Gamers who want to play demanding titles have usually had to choose between getting the best performance on a desktop with a full-power graphics card and buying a gaming laptop with a mobile GPU. However, as of 2016, you can get a large laptop — the MSI GT72, for example — that comes with a desktop-class GPU. Or, you can purchase a smaller system that uses an external graphics amplifier with a desktop card inside it.

You may not even need a gaming laptop to get best-in-class graphics from an amp. Razer's Core amplifier will connect to lightweight laptops, including its own 2.75-pound Blade Stealth, via a USB Type-C port.
