GoKawiilWiCi launches Wi-Fi 7 external GPU box starting at $1,999
WiCi has unveiled the WiCi One, an external graphics card enclosure that connects to laptops wirelessly over Wi-Fi 7 instead of using Thunderbolt or OCuLink cables. The base model includes an Nvidia RTX 5060 Ti 16GB GPU, an Intel Core 3 100U CPU, and 1TB of storage, with a more powerful RTX 5090-based version planned. Preorders for the base model start at $1,999, rising to $2,599 at full release, with shipping expected in the fourth quarter of this year.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
Removing the cable requirement could make eGPUs more practical for users who prioritize a slim laptop design, potentially widening the market for external graphics beyond enthusiasts willing to manage extra ports and wires. WiCi's framing of the device around both gaming and local AI workloads suggests the company sees demand growing for on-device AI processing power that laptops alone can't supply. Actual performance and reliability of a wireless GPU connection under real-world conditions remain to be tested once units ship.
