I also don't get the need for an external GPU. Maybe for machine learning it makes sense, but just to drive monitors it sounds excessive.
Those are relatively small and ergonomically horrible (as are laptop screens in general). So wouldn't meet the authors needs to retaining current efficiency and comfort.

I doubt his built in GPU can drive 3 large monitors and the laptop display at the same time.
edit: Also, for future reference, it's better/nicer to assume people are intelligent and try to understand their reasons for something rather than assuming they're idiots.
The older I get, the more I learn this lesson.
Well in that case it works. Last generation integrated GPU can handle 2 4K monitors at 60/s or 3 full hd at 60/s if I remember correctly
There are larger portable monitors too.

The external GPU is needed when you want to use more display that your integrated card can handle, 3 in my case
