When will eGPUs become more common? Will USB type-C basically make it mainstream?

I want to keep a good business-class notebook but when I bring it home, I'd like to hook it up to an eGPU for rendering jobs.

At this point it's just the razer core for a hefty price tag. You can have a DIY option with mini-pcie, but I'd say in the next year or so we will see more eGPUs.

And it's not just USB type-C that will make it mainstream, it's technically Thunderbolt 3 (though it is also USB C)

This. It will be at least a year before it becomes more mainstream. Once USB C and Thunderbolt 3 are ubiquitous, we'll see more eGPUs.

Business class is just a meme, retard. Just get a blade and cover the top with a skin or something.

Been using alienware egpu for a year now. Inb4 alienware and gayman laptop. Same bandwidth as TB3 egpus and was often on sale for less than $150. But its a proprietary connector, big cable that is only 4.5 ft long, and not plug and play.

Usb 3.1 doesn't have the type of connection for a GPU, thunderbolt does

holy fucking shit.
SO FUCKING CRINGE.
I rather die than be caught using an external gpu.

Go back to watching Filthy Frank my man, 4chan is for people over 18 only.

You can just build a complete ITX setup for cheaper than one of those overpriced GPU enclosures. Even better, you can just rent a GPU server off AWS.

This is something I'm really interested in.
Do you need an expresscard slot if you don't have thunderbolt/usb-c?
Do they sell usb-c to mini pci-e?
What's the OP pic using?

Except razor blade has literally nothing in common with business class laptops.

I'm aware that Imgur.com will stop allowing adult images since 15th of May. I'm taking actions to backup as much data as possible.
