Review: it doesn't have its own power supply - im using it for a nvidea 5060 connected to a geekom a e 8 using a usb port with the supplied usb 4 cable. brilliant results well done razer.
Review: Not what you'd expect for this kind of money - I'm giving it a 1 star only because it works as intended......... Ok so this thing is made from flimsy really easy to bend metal. Then you have the problem to open it as it's just flimsy none of this fancy pullout or solid build. Then you don't have any physical power button other than the PSU as this thing detects the the PC and turns on automatically and switches off automatically. The thing looks horrible no cool looking lights, it's to big for my taste. There are no additional ports just the USB C thunderbolt 4/5 out put Now the drum roll for why it's bad..I CANT JUSTIFY THE PRICE AT ALL ITS EXPENSIVE AND SOME THAT ARE SIMILAR IN PRICE LOOKS BETTER HAS EXTRA PORTS AND CAN BE CARRIED. GO FOR SONET THATS THE MISTAKE I MADE. Now why did I buy this for 2 reasons there aren't alot of thunderbolt 5 options out there and lastly if it needed support razer is a trusted brand so I was thinking along that side of things.

### ⭐⭐ Didn’t work for me
*by E***T on 12 March 2026*

This enclosure didn’t work for me. I put Gigabyte Eagle OC RTX 5070Ti, 1000W PSU from Corsair, but it didn’t work for Lenovo Legion 7 16IAX7 laptop. In addition, the space between PSU and GPU in the Razer box is very tight. There is not enough space from PSU cables to the board, and GPU. Inside space is very limited for all cables to be managed properly. Also, I don’t like the black color. I would prefer silver or white. The good thing is that I got a refund after I returned the enclosure. It will probably work for other laptops, but not every model is compatible.
