Redpill me on the Apple External GPU Anonymous 2017-06-12 07:27:13 Post No. 60872606 [Report]

Will this thing be available for non-developers? Will you be able to buy 3rd-party enclosures? Can you use any graphics card you want? Will you consider buying a Mac now that this is coming out?

I have a real job that requires me to do real work and get it done by tight deadlines and I hate Windows 10. The only real option is to migrate to a Mac, but I don't want to be stuck with a slow graphics processor or stuck with Apple's glacier-paced upgrade schedule. Should I get a Macbook Pro and then an external GPU when they come out, or just continue to suffer using Microsoft's indian-made/outsourced buggy garbage?

>inb4 "Muh Linux!"
....No really I have real work to do and I'm not a software developer. I don't have the time to deal with the endless string of random shit breaking at the worst possible time. I've tried Ubuntu, Mint, Debian, and ElementaryOS and each had its own problems.

tldr: Linux on the desktop is hot dogshit and fucking useless for work outside of the software development world. Hardly any major software works on it natively and that is also a problem such as: All of Adobe's shit, AutoDesk and Solidworks, just to name a few big ones.

>Apple

The ONLY mainstream eGPU solution that CAN'T accelerate the laptop's built in display and requires an external monitor to get any performance out of the GPU. FUCKIN KEK. Applel is a fucking joke.

Mactoddlers will defend this.

Yes. Anyone who wants to buy it.

>Will you be able to buy 3rd-party enclosures? \
Yes. All it needs to be Thunderbolt 3 compatible.

>Can you use any graphics card you want?
Yes. Both the Nvidia and AMD make drivers for all their latest graphics cards.

>Will you consider buying a Mac now that this is coming out?
Already have a 2016 MBP. Will buy eGPU later on.
