The discussion with comments from the pros in [this other thread](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/egpu-or-compute-box/50208/4) might also be interesting.

For me, the main benefit of having a laptop is to be able to carry it around easily and use it anywhere (_small and light, touch screen, long battery life_) and yet get decent performance (_multiple cores, large RAM and SSD disk_).

I have no connection to Dell, but I’m very happy with my home setup: XPS13 + large external monitor + thunderbolt hub. If one day I’ll be able to do some serious computing, then I might consider buying an eGPU or a standalone desktop workstation.
