This sounds a bit bizarre to me. Took a few seconds to find a large pool of monitors designed for travelling. https://www.techradar.com/news/best-portable-monitor https://www.techradar.com/news/best-portable-monitor I also don't get the need for an external GPU. Maybe for machine learning it makes sense, but just to drive monitors it sounds excessive.

  > I doubt his built in GPU can drive 3 large monitors and the laptop display at the same time. Well in that case it works. Last generation integrated GPU can handle 2 4K monitors at 60/s or 3 full hd at 60/s if I remember correctly

  Meh, intelligent people do silly things sometimes, I consider this case like that. There are larger portable monitors too. https://www.alibaba.com/showroom/24-inch-portable-monitor.html https://www.alibaba.com/showroom/24-inch-portable-monitor.ht...

The author addresses the existence of those in the post and states that they don't like using smaller monitors.

Yes, that kind of portable monitors exist, but they are small, the biggest that we can find are 17". The external GPU is needed when you want to use more display that your integrated card can handle, 3 in my case

Yes, but these aren't 24" and that's what the writer of the piece wanted. The biggest is 17", which isn't all that bad though. It's a shame that the resolution is abysmal: 1600x900 https://eu.aoc.com/en/monitors/e1759fwu https://eu.aoc.com/en/monitors/e1759fwu

  It takes a little more research to find 24 inch portable monitors even at 4k.
