This is one of the more interesting laptops to come out of CES



It's a 13 inch laptop with a 8 core Ryzen + 1650 but it connects to the small dock which houses a 3080 Mobile. The main thing is that most Thunderbolt enclosures are big so you can't carry those around, this one on the other hand is quite small. Also because of the proprietary connection in addition to Thunderbolt, you don't have to worry about the IO taking bandwidth as the Thunderbolt connection does the IO and the proprietary connection handles the GPU bandwidth.

Propietary connector = nope.

Given what has happened in the past, unless it's a massive success, which it won't, the next gen laptops from Asus will no longer have that propietary connector.

Yea longevity wise, it probably won't last but I do like the concept
