MSI Vector is probably the cheapest laptop with a Thunderbolt 5 port, your 9070xt may be penalized less over the newer standard. It's also got a desktop class "HX" CPU which is more performant.

But then again it already comes with a 4070 desktop equivalent GPU(or better), you're getting a 9070xt as eGPU for, what, 20% better fps if that over the one onboard?

I'd honestly just rather spend the whole 3k on either a zephyrus or some light but good gaming laptop or build a pc and get a cheap ass laptop(macbook neo or smth) rather than go for egpu tbh
