I was thinking of getting a 2 in 1 laptop with an external gpu (2080ti) connected to thunderbolt or a desktop with the 2080ti. Would there be a significant difference in performance for Lela?
I was thinking if I got the 2 in 1 then I wouldn’t need a desktop.

I can think of latency and PCIe x16 has twice as much bandwidth as PCIe x8 and four times as much bandwidth as Thunderbolt 3.

Yes but how important is bandwidth for LC0 ?

lc0 isn't much bottlenecked by PCIe bandwidth so I wouldn't expect significant different in performance. Maybe about 5%.
