eGPU has a ton of issues on MacOS - I've used it for years, but now on Silicon its prob much worse - but let me give a shout out to the amazing (somewhat new) High Performance screen sharing mode added in Sonoma.

When I connect to my Mac Studio via Macbook I can select that mode, then change the Displays setting to Dynamic Resolution and then my 'thin client':

- Is fullscreen using the entire 16:10 Macbook screen

- Gets 60 fps low latency performance (including on actual games)

- Transfers audio, I can attend meetings in this mode

- Blanks the host Mac Studio screen

All things that were impossible via VNC - RDP is much better but this new High Performance Screen Share is even more powerful.

The thin lightweight laptop that remotes into a loaded machine has always been my idea of high mobility instead of suffering a laptop running everything locally. This works via LTE as well with some firewall setup.
