If you do not mind being locked into AMD cards only I suppose it is a good solution. The eGPU solution was probably the only way to save face with Apple's fixation on slimness limiting their choice of onboard GPUs. If you look at the situation Apple design locked themselves into, the inability to swap out components and for many models you cannot even upgrade the memory, has forced users to rely on external boxes for storage and graphics which pretty much brings back in worse form all those boxes Apple was "designing away". I like my current Apple computer but I am discouraged from every buying another first for their support of manufacturing in China and for the fact that every time I hit some limit imposed by their fixation the sycophants chant "just use external" and I am back to square one.
