| I currently have a MacBook Pro, but I'm also thinking to get a Windows machine. My options are to either build a desktop or buy a laptop and a eGPU (probably Razer Core X). The benefit of the desktop is upgradability and performace; however it is not portable. If I get a laptop (probbably a ThinkPad) and an eGPU (with Radeon VII), i can also use the eGPU with my MacBook Pro. What would you reccomend? |

My gut opinion is that an eGpu wouldn’t work as well with Windows as it would with Macs with Apple having tighter control over the operating system + driver and seeing that Apple has bet heavily on eGPUs. It seems to be more of a niche with Windows.
