Turn any old laptop or pc or anything with a processor into a high powered gaming PC without tricky installations.

Fully upgradeable and as simple as plugging in a USB device.

Only pay for the GPU, no need for everything else.

Not limited to PCs, even tablets and smartphones could carry the latest NVIDIA 1080 Ti.

Why waste money on a whole new console when that money could be devoted purely to graphics power instead?

It's just another option.

Awesome! That's gonna make games like Mario, Uncharted, God of War, Pokemon, The Last of Us, Gran Turismo, Horizon Zero Dawn, etc look amazing!

But will it play Breath of the Wild on launch day?

Wait so why is the CPU not a bottleneck?

Yes and in 4K too if Nintendo supported it.

It can give any device gaming-PC level graphics.

CPUs seem to have peaked at core i5s from 5-6 years ago.

Even i7s are overkill for current games.

Is USB actually fast enough for that? It sounds like that judging by the article, but I thought it was too slow for anything serious.

EDIT: On a second thought, maybe not...

That's only cause consoles have weak sauce cpus. Plus Amd's zen might shake things up again. If we eliminate the cpu bottleneck the consoles are having and game developers actually focus on curren gen i5s as their target optimization platform, suddenly old cpus will struggle.

to the OP question, Nope it won't, will still be nice option for someone who doesn't mind packing this extra kit for multiple cheap laptops... I guess this is the customer? would someone not just purchase a "gaming" laptop instead of this though?
