With any luck, someone will release a compact external graphics chip/card for TB3 in the near future — and then you'll be able to get any TB3-sporting notebook you like without having to worry about graphics perf for gaming.

It's actually already on the market - Acer Graphics Dock, size: 245 x 130 x 22.8 mm (B x T x H), Weight:700 grams, review - http://www.notebookcheck.net/Acer-Graphics-Dock-with-Nvidia-...

I hope Acer is going to update it with newest Nvidia/AMD cards which will make it a perfect graphics dock choice, not so large and expensive as Razer, AKiTiO Thunder3 and other ridiculous boxes.

That's really neat, and certainly a step up from Razer's monstrous GPU box! I think my ideal eGPU, though, would be something less powerful, but roughly the size of a Square card reader. Then I could just throw it in my bag every day and not have to worry about it.

That might happen soon, since Thinderbolt 3 port has come to the mass with Kaby Lake CPUs (looks like no addition chips needed like it was with prev Intel's CPUs).
