I understand the curiosity aspect of "Can/could I do this?", but from a practical standpoint, why? A gaming desktop is more practical, cheaper, easy to improve and change, etc. But if your problem is mobility, a gaming laptop is probably cheaper to start off with, then it definitely is after the external gpu.

My use case is admittedly a bit esoteric but: a) I need a MacBook for work, b) I only have room for a single computer in my life, c) I already have a pretty powerful computer with a TB2 port. Plus, it's nice to keep things relatively simple.

I have a mid-2015 MBP, and have it connected to a 4K monitor. Looks beautiful, but there's some obvious jerking going on from pushing so many pixels.

An eGPU would help solve this issue completely, and I could even go for dual 4K monitors (or more).
