Hi, satya288 !


Use an external graphics processor with your Mac


eGPUs are supported by any Thunderbolt 3-equipped Mac running macOS High Sierra 10.13.4 or later. 


It would appear the computer you listed above would be a 2017 MacBook Air, which does not have Thunderbolt 3 ports. Therefore, it would appear the answer to your question would be no. That model does not support an eGPU.


Good luck!
