I'm sure I remember reading about Macs using eGPUs.

https://support.apple.com/en-gb/102363

They supported it on Intel processors.

Oh, their ARM-based machines can't.

No. The Apple Silicon Macs do not currently support external GPUs and Apple has not made any mention of planning to support them in the future.

Yeah, Apple Silicon giveth, and Apple Silicon taketh away.

Though, honestly, the number of people who would buy any Apple product and ALSO use an eGPU was probably absolutely miniscule and probably didn't even figure into their design planning.

The monitor segmentation is fucking stupid, though: just let me plug in as many damn monitors as I want, why do you care at all, Apple?
