The editors didn't like
Not compatible with many laptops. Pricy
And doesn't come with a graphics card. Performance varies greatly depending on your laptop and the GPU you insert
And always runs slightly slower than a comparable desktop. Bundled cable is annoyingly short
Expensive
Fans get noticeably loud
Not getting full graphics card performances
Heavy (not very portable)
Uses Razer Synapse 2
Limiting synchronization with newer Razer products
Struggles at higher resolutions like QHD/4K
Pricey
Way too expensive
Makes the Core v2 less competitive overall. Performance is good
But not great
Like any other current eGPU enclosure
Thunderbolt 3 still doesn't provide all the bandwidth necessary to push graphics performance to the max

My thoughts on the Blade Stealth have not changed since last time I reviewed this laptop: I like it a lot. The build quality is excellent and complemented well by the RGB keyboard and trackpad. The high resolution display and is good, bezel size is good...

Straightforward to setup and use, USB and Ethernet hub works fine, Solid aluminium chassis
Too darn loud, Slower than a desktop, Pricey at £470 sans graphics card
