What is the use case of this with a $599 initial crowdfunding price tag (and expected to be higher price at retail?)

Would it not make more sense just to buy a $600 more powerful laptop with a considerably stronger GPU?

Laptop are not handhelds. No laptop can give the handheld experience and the eGPU is meant to make the handheld usable at higher resolution.

Still, like i've been saying for the GPD G1, the only usecase where these eGPUs make sense is if you need the extreme portability.

Otherwise for 600$ your better getting a 40$ oculink to pcie adapter, a 50$ PSU and a 7800XT/4070 for 500/520$.
