Okay, a challenge. I need to be able to buy the following things, all on the same receipt (from the same shop) :
1. A new MacBook Air, with 16GB RAM
2. An external GPU that works with the above and a MBP 2017 and an LG 5K.
Ideally (2) will allow the changing of the card, and have ports galore. So not the BlackMagic one on Apple.com. What is the recommendation for (2) and where could I buy both together.

Going to have to be Amazon I think as eGPU's are not sold in many places. Also, hope you are aware you can not directly drive the LG 5K with an eGPU?

Wait, what? I was under the impression it was just TB3 from MBP to eGPU and same from that to monitor? If I can drive it from the laptop what is different?
