Think you can get $10 off by signing up for Rewards also. I use a Zotac eGPU with my NUC and it is awesome, highly recommend it if you have a use for one. It's also pretty quiet compared to a gaming laptop.

This gave new life to an old several year old MBP. Dropped in a decent 8gb GPU and now got a nice little setup. Has some quirks but nothing you cant work around. Do note it requires one of those high throughtput USB C cables bwtn case and laptop, not the basic ones, for power and video.

Good point, those are typically 20" and crazy expensive. It does come with one.

PSA: just be aware that M1 Macs do not support eGPUs and likely never will.

The Flow x13 and XG eGPU make this at 350 a hard sell.

What is the bottleneck of these things vs using a gfx card internally? How well would it work to hook this up to a business laptop that has a good processor and a decent amount of RAM? Would there be any stuttering when playing games?

As long as you're driving an external monitor from the eGPU it's fine. But there are a fair number of people who try to leverage their laptop screen on these and see some fair performance degradation for what I would consider obvious reasons.

I signed up for the offer since it appeared during my checkout...did not receive an email for a code or anything so I finished checking out anyhow. Discount did not appear in after confirmation and web chatted with customer support. CS would not apply the discount manually so I cancelled my order. CS commented it would take up to 24 hours to receive the code but I usually receive discount codes minutes after completing a discount offer process from other sites.

Good while it lasted I guess; refurbished items like this are so much better since most wear on the components are like high frequency contact points like I/o and fans

It depends on how your laptop implements Thunderbolt. Some only utilize 2 PCIe lanes(~20 gbps) while others utilize 4(~40gbps). Even with 4 PCIe lanes, benchmarks usually show about a 10-15% performance hit on a given desktop GPU.

I got one of these a while back to try out with my ~3y/o laptop that only has 2 lane Thunderbolt for a potential travel gaming setup. While it did provide a decent performance bump over the laptop GPU, it wasn't enough to justify trying to travel with a rather bulky enclosure that's about the same size as my SFF desktop PC, especially since I would still need to bring an external monitor.

I have a NUC11 w/ an i5-1135G7 and 16GB Ram. I get these benchmarks with an external 3060 Ti.

Timespy 8632 (GPU 9755) (CPU 5225)

Firestrike 16037 (Phys 13231, Combined 7719)

There's no stuttering or abnormal behavior, it behaves like a desktop, except that sometimes Windows doesn't automatically use the eGPU and uses the onboard graphics, and it's not clear why. Sometimes have to just restart the game, sometimes have to reboot the PC or power cycle the eGPU. But most of the time it works fine.

Some reviews say you have to connect the monitor directly to the eGPU - mine is connected through the NUC, which is better cause you can leave the eGPU off when not gaming. But it might depend on the laptop.
