An eGPU is a great accessory to a laptop with Thunderbolt 3, but in many cases, you'll be leaving that box of graphics power at home or in the office. You don't necessarily have to though, since not all eGPUs are hefty boxes that must be desk-bound. Here are some great choices for the more mobile user.
Smart choices for graphics power on the go
Ultimately when you're looking for a portable eGPU, the size and how you're going to transport it are key considerations. The Node Pro (opens in new tab) is the best all-rounder thanks to its sturdy handle for easy carrying and fairly compact form factor, and it still allows you to use whichever desktop graphics card you wish.

It is possible to go smaller, though, and if the ultimate in portability is what you're going for, the Sonnet Puck (opens in new tab) is impossible to ignore. It's absolutely tiny, while still housing capable AMD Radeon graphics power and enough external display outputs for any occasion. It's pretty crazy something this small can be this powerful!
