With your 13" MBP ? I already can tell you - to save the hassle - ****

I don’t do final cut, I’m not sure why it won’t cut it when my 2012 iMac could currently?

Performance perception is reletive I Suppose.....but if my 2016 15" mbp is sluggish to me I don't see how a duel core 13" will be of benefit, unless you don't mind how long it takes......like even culling images feels frustratingly slow, there's loading between each image even with smart previews on - sure abit faster with egpu.....but it's honestly not that much sadly. The ryzen pc skips through images instantly. Near no perceptible loading takes place.

I have no choice being on the road with my mbp but dang it needs to be faster.

Ahh right well how fast is that then....sorry I thought you said you were thinking of getting that.....does it hop through images fairly seemlessly when culling and are you using LR?

It is fast and yes & yes.

The internal SSD is ridiculous if the files are on there, but I would be working off on Thunderbolt to external anyway.

Interesting why is mine so laggy hopping through images? The cpu architecture isn't that far behind, Even on internal ssd

Can you run triple monitor as landscape in the middle and portrait either side? I am thinking of getting a Mac Mini plus eGPU.

Is it as simple as buying a Razer Core X plus any Vega 64 graphics card?

Yeah you can do anything you want as per a normal graphics card.

So I can just buy one of these and put it in a Razer Core X?
