The rise and fall and rise of eGPUs
The history of external GPUs, or eGPUs, is a convoluted one. Around six years ago, they were all the rage, with Thunderbolt 3 enabling an easy plug-and play solution for this kind of thing. But the market slowed down very significantly after a couple of years, presumably due to a lack of interest in the idea of having a giant box you need to connect to your laptop.
