What are you using the GPU for? Is it for ML, gaming, game dev?

I'll be using it mostly for Creative Cloud and some gaming.

My biased opinion is that an inexpensive laptop and a desktop with an internal card would probably be much less headache.

I agree. Also if the primary use case is Creative Cloud, couldn’t you do the heavy lifting on the desktop PC and use the laptop he already has for portability?
