<div class="feat-image">(https://9to5mac.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2018/07/blackmagic-egpu-review.jpg?quality=82&strip=all&w=1600)</div><p>The Blackmagic eGPU is an external graphics enclosure sold exclusively (for the time being) at the Apple Store. It’s a notable product for several of reasons. First and foremost, it’s the first time that Apple has sold an external graphics enclosure in its store. This makes sense, considering that macOS was recently upgraded with official eGPU support in version 10.13.4 (http://9to5mac.com/2018/03/29/mac-os-10-13-4/) back in the spring.</p> <p>Another reason to take note is that the Blackmagic eGPU is the first external graphics chassis to include official support for the LG UltraFine 5K display (https://amzn.to/2zBF79t) (hands-on (https://9to5mac.com/2016/12/31/review-lg-ultrafine-5k-display-macbook-pro-video/)), a monitor that Apple recommends as a replacement for its now discontinued Thunderbolt Display.</p> <p>But perhaps the most appealing feature of the Blackmagic eGPU is its silence. Blackmagic advertises its ultra quiet status right on the product packaging, and it’s not joking, this enclosure is extremely low noise.</p> <p>With a launch alongside highly anticipated new MacBook Pro hardware, the Blackmagic eGPU is now available exclusively at Apple Stores (https://www.apple.com/shop/product/HM8Y2VC/A/blackmagic-egpu?fnode=6b4371a0c1915eacefb14d712cf550b9a9bef28689a246b4556ad14d20601036a4b533d91a0294cf2ab12379c47008901df85f01df3472a0ede7f64aa289bbf7e4c3881fc0f36720e3edd10ca0aa28d78a2fb93487107741d239c367e354e814). Is this the eGPU that you should consider for your Mac?
