"But then, there’s the ROG XG Mobile, an external graphics enclosure that’s meant to add some additional power to the Flow X13. External graphics are nothing new, but the XG Mobile has a form factor that makes it stand out. The enclosure itself only weighs 2.2 pounds, and Asus says it, only 6% of the size of a typical eGPU. The primary reason is because the XG Mobile uses a mobile version of an Nvidia graphics card, rather than the desktop models that most eGPUs use."
Pro:
Small!!
3000-series capable, built-in power supply.
Cons:
Custom PCIe connector.
Likely very expensive.
