How to be mobile and have enough power at the same time?
I mean, I want a good PC with a big good monitor, but I move a lot. Today I'm living in one city, within 2 months I'll move to a different state, three moths later I will move to yet another apartment — it would be a hassle to take a huge display and a full tower PC with me. I don't have many belongings, it's not a problem to carry several bags with my clothes and stuff when I move anywhere, but I can't take something as bulky and fragile as a workstation.
What to do?

i just ordered a top of the line x260 im going to build a egpu for.
idk, it seems like a good compromise.

well you have two options, either get one of those ridiculous new gaming laptops with dual gtx 1080s and a ridiculous processor, or get a small but still powerful workstation and monitor.
you can cram a surprising amount of power into miniature cases, how much power do you need?
Possibly you can make a build small enough to screw on to the back of the monitor. I think ncu's can do that, but they are under powered.

egpu's aren't worth it, thunderbolt 3 doesnt have a high enough bandwidth to actually provide substantial gains, it's literally just waisting money

>small but still powerful workstation and monitor.
This is the best option. Something like the HP Z2 Mini and a 27" monitor could fit in a large suitcase with room to spare.

You already know you're not going to lug a monitor around so just get a laptop.

If you only took away that you won't get any performance gain rather than there is an upper limit of how good of a graphics card you should theoretically throw in there with a thunderbolt connection to get a performance gain.

get small workstation and a decent projector and a white sheet.
