NEW External GPU support on OSX macbook

Hello all,

I thought some people who are using macbook’s for DL might be interested in this latest development in the next OSX release - high sierra. But full release availability may not be until spring 2018.

Apple adds external GPU support, now selling $599 VR development kit

( and the page on the apple site )

Will this mean its possible to shoe horn into DL applications? I don’t know but i assume it would

Personally i am initially looking at using a AWS cloud formation to get a system that is cost effective and powerful when i need it. @tensoralex has a good intro to this which i am exploring.

But this is an interesting development.
