  • Video: Should you get an eGPU for your new 2018 Mac mini?

    I own the 2018 Mac mini.  I knew going in that the graphics performance was going to suck.  I have it attached to two Apple TB2 monitors at the office.  The 6-core i7 is a beast.  I just wished Apple went that one extra inch and install a decent discreet GPU.  It doesn't even need to be the latest, and greatest, but just something that would work well within the mini's thermal constraints and provide anything better than what Intel offers.  I already had the monitors and didn't want to invest in an iMac, especially since they haven't been updated recently.

    I hope someone makes an eGPU housing that mimics the size and shape of the Mac mini.  Something I can stack on top of it.  These giant eGPU enclosures are interesting, but too big both physically and aesthetically for me to have an interest in it.

    I have a suspicion that the next version of the Mac mini will have an AMD GPU. 
    Something like Sonnet’s eGFX Breakaway™ Puck? It's 6" wide x 5.1" deep x 2" tall.
