    3 monitors + an eGPU?

    I would like to some day run 3 monitors & I know the Mini can do it, but does that change when adding an eGPU to the setup? Currently looking at having 3 LG 4K UHD 27UD88-W 27" for the setup, though likely will just run with 2 at 1st. Also, back when the 2018 Mac Mini came out, I got excited...

    eGPU advice

    Working with photoshop on a new Mac mini

    Thanks so much for all interesting posts here about the new mac mini and eGPUs, esp. to F-Train. But still I can’t decide if I should buy a new mac mini (with an eGPU) or wait for the next mac pro. I’m still working on a Mac Pro from 2006 - Dual Core Intel Xeon 3Ghz, 18 RAM with a Radeon HD...
