I am thinking bout buying a laptop worth 1k with a 970m but if the alienware graphics amplifier work with any laptop other then alienware I will pair it with a gtx 1060. I heard the razor core is coming out that will work with any laptop but I can't wait that long and I don't even know how much the price will be.

The alienware only works on alienware. The razor core has been out for a couple months already but it won't work on any laptop since you need thunderbolt 3 which not many laptops have. It's also a waste of money since it's $500. There are other commercial egpu adapters but all use tb3 and are unreleased; asus xg station 2, powercolor devil box, and gigabyte's. Expect them to cost about the same so other than diy solutions, it's really not worth it.
