January 1, 2021 at 11:26 pmThanks Oliver. It will be interesting to see where the M1 Resolve software fork goes, given the GPU preference. Meanwhile does this make an eGPU with this Mac mini a serious option for a small portable system?

January 2, 2021 at 1:16 amTo my knowledge, the M1 Mac mini (or any other M1 Mac) does not support an eGPU. I could be wrong, but my opinion is that Apple is no longer interested in eGPUs and those were just a stopgap until the Mac Pros came out.
