I've heard that external GPUs have too much latency to be that useful for a lot of applications.
What I'd like to see is a Mac with a nice big fat Nvidia GPU. Why can't I buy a Mac with a 1080 ti? My suspicion is that Apple wants to get into the GPU game themselves, and bring some of the expertise from their mobile GPU team to laptops and desktops.
That'd be great, if they actually released something competitive. So far, they haven't, and Mac users, who would love to pay for better technology, are left out in the cold as a result.
