I'm planning to buy an Ally X soon, along with a dock and an external GPU (eGPU). This will be my first time investing in a solid device, so I'm curious about which affordable GPU options are good for use as an eGPU. Any advice would be much appreciated!

An eGPU is essentially an external GPU that you can connect to your laptop for better graphics performance. It's great for boosting your gaming experience or handling graphic-intensive tasks without needing to upgrade your whole laptop.
It really depends on what you're willing to spend! Since you mentioned wanting something in the $200 to $350 range, you might want to look into options like the NVIDIA GTX 1660 or a used RX 580. They're solid performers and should fit well within your budget. Also, traveling a lot makes the eGPU route smart since you can easily take it with you.
Yeah, I'm excited to get a portable setup that delivers good power while I'm on the go!
