HP Spectre x360 13-aw0054na
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I am considering buying an eGPU however on researching the topic have come across some users having compatibility issues with the 2020 model of my laptop and the HP omen accelerator - are these two products compatible?

 

The HP website doesn't specifically list the aw0054na as being compatible with the omen accelerator.

 

I know my laptop has thunderbolt and that should enable it to work with the omen however there are numerous reports that the more modern 2020 version of the laptop which I have for some reason doesn't work with the omen eGPU. I don't want to outlay the extra money and then find out it won't work. 

 

Is anyone able to confirm compatibility or recommend other alternative eGPU's that would work?

It has 2 USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C™ with Thunderbolt™ 3 ports which are compatible with HP Omen Accelerator which says Powerful Thunderbolt™ 3-certified USB-C™ connectivity delivers gaming power and charges your notebook from just one port. And with room for a hard drive or SDD, your games don't eat up valuable storage on your laptop.

 

HP Omen Accelerator should be compatible with all machines (notebooks, desktops)  which have Thunderbolt™ 3 port(s).

 

Regards.
