Because a desktop isn’t portable?

When I go into either one of my corporate offices (rarely) or a client’s office, it’s nice to be able to just plug my laptop in the night before and not have to worry about a finding any place to plug it in during the day, going back and forth between conference rooms, etc.

I also go home to see my parents for a couple of weeks sometimes and work from there.

And I realize this is a very esoteric case. But I also do the whole “digital nomad” thing half the year.

It almost sounfs like you knew the answer to your question the entire time.

But once you’re asking about an external GPU, portability isn’t the most important thing is it?

I'm not sure what you're talking about. My external GPU enclosure is extremely portable. My everyday backpack fits a laptop with external GPU and a weekend's worth of luggage very comfortably.
