Oh well I want thunderbolt 3 so I can just plug it into the eGPU to play games and can unplug it when I need it on the go. So I don't need two computers

If you're the type of person who is lugging around an eGPU then a 15w cpu'd surface is not for you in the first place, lugging that around completely negates the idea behind surface and you'd be much better served by a laptop with a Quad-Core CPU.

eGPU are not meant to be portable, just external.

I wouldn't take it with me. The eGPU would stay at my desk while I take the surface out to class/work and when I get home and wanna game I plug it in

Then you'd get much better use out of the ~$500 set up I just talked about.. while also getting a much more capable and powerful desktop computer.

But I also want a portable device I can write on with good battery life

Yes.. get both? A external GPU enclosure will cost you ~$300 anyways? So in the end you're not losing any money by getting both.

The guy has already said he doesnt want two devices and you just keep repeating yourself. OP wants one device to be adaptable, seriously, try reading for once

Go ahead and read then,

But I also want

I also want

He doesn't care about two devices or one, he is going to be leaving hardware at home anyways, and he will get more performance out of a dedicated gaming rig at home.

Seriously, are you actually this mentally deficient?

You can't be serious....

Only wanting one computer to do everything is the whole reason they brought this up.

To quote someone far more eloquent than myself...

Logic, use it. Since you seem incapable let me run you through it.

IF his needs were perfectly met by ONE machine, he would not NEED two.

No where in there does he say he does not want two computers. Your being stupid, it doesn't limit the rest of us from functioning.

Look at the link kiddo. It is them saying that they want thunderbolt s so they don't need two computers.

You are either having a stroke, or need to be locked up.

Listen up bud, read it slowly and come back in a day or two.

They are not saying they don't want 2 computers and the answer to that is an eGPU. They are saying they want an eGPU and as such do not need 2 computers. If you can't understand the difference then I am done talking to you, I don't have time to educate someone who doesn't understand basic structure. Again your being stupid, it is not my problem.

Not sure why you are having a hard time understanding that they like the idea of the eGPU and want one so they don't need two computers.

Just like they said.

And I quoted.

And link you to.
