Getting Started

I'm thinking of getting a EGPU for my ThinkPad P14s Gen 6. The GPU that I am choosing is the 5060 TI 16 GB. Is there a recommended dock that I could use with the laptop.

The laptop does have USB-C Thunderbolt™ 4, 40Gbps

Info/Requirements

I am willing to swap components after purchase if possible. I have a 2022 M2 MacBook that only has 8 GB of ram and is running out of store space. From what I heard switching to windows is a bad idea in this day and age. but the main reason I want to switch is for compatibility and since I still have a 90% functional MacBook. The most intensive thing I will do on my computer is probably CAD software or gaming specifically Minecraft. I don't want it to be way too big since this is for school and hopefully for college down the line. Repairability to me is also important. I am willing to compromise on some of the above if my requirements are to outlandish for this market.
