    External GPU very Hot

    Hello guys. I have a doubt. All times that I connect a monitor external on the macbook pro model 2019 with a external GPU, I observer that the processors elevate the temperature and on top of the touchbar it gets very hot in such a way that it bothers the use when typing. I understand that...

    External GPU for New MacBook Pro with TouchBar

    Has anyone tried using an external GPU through USB-C on the new MacBook Pro with TouchBar to know if it works? Would be great if we could use a much more powerful GPU with these new MacBook Pros for Gaming if wanted.
