eGPU

I have the following eGPUs but they don’t work on my M2 Macbook. Luckily the data transfer on the Thunderbolt on the Zimacube will work wonderfully (hopefully)

Initial Purchase

I initially purchased the Zimacube Pro Creator Edition on Aug 7th.

The total cost was $1999.

I purchased it via paypal.

Shipping

On Sat, Aug 10th I received a text message from DHL with a tracking number.

Shipped with Delivery w/out signature + other options.

I found it odd that they are not requiring a signature on a $2000 purchase sent from Hong Kong.

Expected Tuesday, Aug 13th.

That is faster than I expected!

Update: Sunday, Aug 11th

The Zimacube is in my city! Still processing, but should be here by the 13th!

Final Update: Aug 12th

It’s here!!! It was actually two packages, one being the Zimacube pro and the other being the RTX A2000.

I promptly tore it apart and threw the graphics card in.

This thing is beautiful!!!
