Nothing says "portable gaming" like an eGPU
- wongarsu 4y agoOn the other hand I know multiple people who basically never move their laptop, and their list of reasons for getting a laptop boils down to "everyone has a laptop", "I've always had a laptop" and "it takes less space". For these people, an eGPU is a reasonable choice.
- paraph1n 4y agoWhat about people who game on their laptop (at home) but don't need to game on the go? In that case an eGPU also sounds like a reasonable choice. They can just leave the eGPU at home and still be productive away from their desk.

- robotnikman 4y agoI'm one of those people. My current laptop came with an eGPU enclosure, and I recently put a 3090 in it. The battery life on the laptop is so bad that it's basically a desktop now constantly connected to the eGPU and power supply. For gaming and resource heavy tasks it works great though, even if a bit loud at times. I ended up getting a much better and slimmer laptop for actual portable work.

- prettyStandard 4y agoOriginally she asked for a desktop. I talked her into a laptop with an eGPU because she has a medical condition that significantly limits her strength and flexibility. I thought splitting the GPU would be best for weight and did not want to burden her with a chonky gaming laptop.
