Are you a video pro? Many of the applications you use — whether to edit, render, color grade, animate, or create special effects — require the processing power of desktop or workstation graphics (GPU) cards to efficiently and quickly handle the demanding data processing needs. Because many popular laptops come with either integrated graphics or low-power discrete GPUs, their performance can be severely limited for these tasks. The good news? There’s an easy solution for boosting your productivity — just add a Sonnet Breakaway Box 850 T5 Thunderbolt 5 eGPU to connect your high-performance GPU card to your computer through a single Thunderbolt 5 cable and significantly enhance its graphics performance.

So, you’ve purchased a laptop or SFF computer loaded with RAM; a super-fast, high-capacity SSD; and a high-end CPU, but you’re not sure what it can do using the onboard graphics processor. For AI related tasks, maybe not as much as want it to do. But, when you connect Breakaway Box 850 T5 and install one of the latest GPU cards, you can run local AI apps faster to perform the tasks you need without paying for a subscription or per transaction fees.
