GeForce RTX 4090 Laptop-Powered Morefine G1 eGPU Unveiled With Compact Chassis

[GGforever]

Morefine is a relatively reputed brand of mini PCs that we have covered in the past. The company has now introduced a powerful new eGPU dubbed the G1, which can also function as a dock, courtesy of its healthy selection of ports. The eGPU can be equipped with the RTX 4060 Laptop, RTX 4080 Laptop, or even the RTX 4090 Laptop GPUs. The product is already available for purchase, with prices starting from $659 for the RTX 4060 L variant, $1,099 for the RTX 4080 L variant, and the highest-end RTX 4090 Laptop variant is unfortunately out of stock as of this writing, which otherwise carries a price tag of $1,699.

For those who need a refresher, the RTX 4060 Laptop packs 3,072 CUDA cores paired with 8 GB of GDDR6 VRAM, allowing for performance that is roughly in the same league as the Radeon RX 7600M GPU found in many other eGPUs. The RTX 4080 Laptop and RTX 4090 Laptop GPUs pack 7,424 and 9,728 CUDA cores coupled with 12 and 16 GB of GDDR6 VRAM respectively. Morefine has revealed the 3D Mark scores for each of the systems, which is certainly a good thing for prospective buyers. The 14 x 10 x 5.4 cm chassis is impressively compact, and as mentioned previously, the ports on offer are equally impressive. An OCuLink port is provided, along with Thunderbolt 3 (85W PD), which can swapped with a dual USB-C module for folks with systems that cannot take advantage of OCuLink. Other ports include triple USB-A 3.2, dual HDMI 2.1, and DisplayPort 1.4 ports.

HEY THERE WE GO! Somebody FINALLY figured out how to put a usable dock and an eGPU together, and didnt put in the wimpy 7600m! I will question the port placement though, why only 1 USB on the back? Mouse and keyboard is the bare minimum, that's 2 already. I'm buying a dock because I DONT want a mutant squid evolving out of my laptop with hubs and docks daisy linked.

Look at the lenovo thinkstation dock. It gets 4 USB on the back, plus the PC uplink on the back and an additional type A and C on the front. Just do that, with the eGPU.


Also, no audio jack. No Ethernet either. So its a major step in the right direction, but still not the perfect dock.

It's actually quite hilarious how they (all) fail to provide the obvious. But I guess at some point someone has to make a usable solution, even if it's just by accident.

The problem with that dock wasn’t the 7600, the problem was its price (same with this).

I’m more curious as to why they’re launching an RTX 40 series product right on the cusp of the RTX 50 series.
