Comment on Review: Framework Laptop finally gets an AMD Ryzen config—and it’s pretty good
ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 1 year agoIt has more power due to heating constraints
And being able to replace/upgrade the desktop gpu in your egpu gives it a longer life
I assume you would use a computer bag regardless
And you shouldn’t need that power every time you take out your laptop

You might not need full on desktop power though and since carrying a laptop might already be a pain you don’t want to carry anything other than what’s strictly necessary. Not to mention setting up the thing on your desk, some might not want to do that.
I’ll give you that there’s benefits to an eGPU but it’s pretty situation dependant and what you value that decides which one you should go for. In any case you probably understand now why someone might want a dGPU though, even if you yourself would go for an eGPU.
