Check out the Razer Blade Stealth and Core (pictures)

The Razer Blade Stealth is a powerful machine for $999, plus it has an incredible docking solution that adds the power of an external graphics card.

When his parents denied him a Super NES, he got mad. When they traded a prize Sega Genesis for a 2400 baud modem, he got even. Years of Internet shareware, eBay'd possessions and video game testing jobs after that, he joined Engadget. He helped found The Verge, and later served as Gizmodo's reviews editor. When he's not madly testing laptops, apps, virtual reality experiences, and whatever new gadget will supposedly change the world, he likes to kick back with some games, a good Nerf blaster, and a bottle of Tejava.

The Razer Blade Stealth isn't a gaming laptop -- until you plug it into the Razer Core, a docking station that not only adds ports and charges the laptop, but also adds the horsepower of an external graphics card.

You get to choose which graphics card to add. Just flip open the handle, pull and the tray slides right out. One screw, two power connectors and you're done.

Just plug a single USB Type-C Thunderbolt 3 cable into to the side of the laptop -- no need to reboot -- and all that additional graphical oomph is yours.

You don't have to rely on just that single USB-C port, though. There's also a full-side HDMI jack and two full-size USB 3.0 ports on the Blade Stealth laptop.

Here's what a full Blade Stealth plus Core desktop setup might look like -- if you're a big fan of Razer products, anyhow.
