It was worth looking at the option. Thanks. My laptop has the Thunderbolt 3. I suppose I would have to check other compatibility with the Razer Core X on my HP Omen. However, the sticker shock of a Core X plus 3080 GPU plus cable plus all the taxes ends up being about 1/3 the cost of a new laptop with the 3080 included. Then, the size of the adjunct kind of defeats the way I use the laptop to play MSFS.
