I have a Thinkpad T490s and would like to use an external GPU so I can power multiple monitors in High Def.

Specifically, I’m looking at the TH3P4G3 with a 5070 Ti.

From the reading I’ve done it seems like getting these configured and working is non-trivial. For example there’s some reports of people not being able to deliver power to the laptop while docked. Also some crashes on connect / disconnect.

I’m not necessarily looking for specific “how to” advice, just a general impression. Is this worth while or is it going to be a huge muck around that never really works reliably.

    Yeah ok I did look for a few brands but not the razer.

    Looking at that now there’s a half dozen second hand ones here in Australia.

    Price is about the same as one of the Chinese no-names + box + PSU.

    Im more confident about the razer though.

    Thanks very much for this.
