Used it for 3 weeks with a MacBook Pro 13' 2017 no Touch Bar.
It's plug and use for Mac OS X internal screen. Easy to set up. But not many apps use egpu. Parallel Desktop would recognize it. Don't know why.
For Bootcamp Windows internal screen, it's much harder. I followed the instructions from egpu.io, and it worked. Now I can play Overwatch at high setting and 60 fps (because retina screen only supports 60 Hz). Had to use a bluetooth mouse (not a 2.4G) as the egpu uses up all the PCIE bandwidth, that any pluggable mouse wouldn't work. Bluetooth mouse loses connection constantly so it's a little bit annoying.
Sometime when it's too hot (when I game for 2 hours), it will stop working (haha AMD cards). My solution is cut off the power and unplug it for 5 min. It always works.
I had one time when I didn't eject it properly and unplugged it. My Mac OS X crashed and seems to have lost the driver for intel iGPU. At last I went to Apple store and reinstalled OS X (and everything).
Generally speaking it is a good product for Mac users.
