I like the sound of Radeon Pro 5600M, now get it in something i would consider buying.

Then again +800 British bananas, thats like all the money i plan on spending on a laptop.

how many extra FPS do you get with HBM2?

Wow that's quite some Apple tax there. You can build an entire Radeon 5700XT based gaming PC for the cost of that upgrade.

Still it is cheaper than a monitor stand.

That's 5700XT in an external GPU box money. Not sure why they called it 5600M - it's as wide as the 5700XT, so they could have used a higher model number

The upgrade costs more that the actual chip is even worth, not even considering the fact that you're upgrading, not just getting an extra chip.
