      Depends though. If you want something that can be beefy like a desktop but still move with you, as well as being cost efficient giving you more room in a budget for better upgrades, then i highgly recommend taking an old laptop and upgrading it.
      If you want to use a bigger monitor just use a HDMI (If your laptop isnt too old to not have one)
      I was considering building a PC from scratch but it would have been around £600 and knowing i can upgrade my already good laptop for cheaper and get the same gaming capabilities out of it is a no brainer.
      Good thing about this is you can easily remove the upgrades to move into a PC build. Easy!

You will have the world's modern bulkiest laptop but at least the GPU would be internal.

    These are sick and work really well, and even come in various varieties including mini PCI-E, M.2, NGFF and Express Slot. However, you can't just expect it to work by shoving any old card into any old slot on any old laptop. Hell, even the type of *monitor* may prevent it from working if it has such tech as Embedded DisplayPort (eDP) or Panel Self Refresh (PSR), and even BIOS settings like Enable Hybrid Graphics. You also may need the software, DIY eGPU Setup 1.35. Do your homework before buying, but it's a sick product for those with a great laptop that's outdated such as a HP ZBook or similar, maybe your parents gave you one, maybe it's your only computer, whatever the case, quad core laptops can game just as well as a full sized desktop with the right know-how, and this route often is *FAR* cheaper than upgrading an MXM-III internal GPU if yours even has one, maybe you have a Quadro like me, but it doesn't matter if you don't have a dGPU at all. This video was awful and half arsed, this product is great for those on a strict gaming budget like high school students, or for those just looking to mess around with something niche.

    The problem is, most people who want to run an external graphics card on a laptop on the cheap have a really cheap laptop too. That means no NVMe, and usually the highest-bandwidth port you'll find is USB 3.0. So a solution like this, while fascinating, only serves a very specific niche of people who somehow spent a decent chunk of change without getting a dedicated card internally.

      Mini-PCIe also requires you to open the laptop, which significantly hinders the convenience factor of such a product.

      He basically threw in the towel. It's just not feasible for such a big piece of dedicated hardware to be compatible with a laptop. I still think the eGPU enclosure is a viable solution honestly. My laptop has a RTX 2060 and 32GB ram. It's plenty enough for high/ultra 1080p gaming and 4k/multi monitor productivity. But if I wanted to bump up the muscle to run at a higher resolution, then the eGPU would be the ticket, until I built a proper mini tower. The best part is that since you have to buy the gpu for a gaming rig anyways, that's one less thing you have to worry with.

    What is the limitation on GPUs that you could use with such an eGPU dock? I imagine its more so bandwidth bottlenecked on the mini-PCIe vs. regular PCIe interface (as mentioned with speed comparison), but with the 16x GPU interface it should be compatible theoretically with most modern GPUs... so at what point would you start to see a trade-off or bottle-necked performance with current GPUs and where which would be a good candidate to try (eg. GTX 1660 OC)?

    Hello, Our old laptop has a mini displayport/Thunderbolt input (two features in one port). Will it work if we connect EXP GDC (video card mount-egpu) to the laptop with Mini Displayport (Thunderbolt) To HDMI Converter Cable? The reason I ask this is because we can get faster data exchange when we use thunderbolt port with EXP GDC.

    I had great success with the smart card variety on my enterprise laptop while I was scrimping to build my PC. I bought my GPU, PSU, and the beast first; played on that for about 6 mo waiting for a bonus at work, then bought the rest and assembled the system. I was out $80 for the beast at the end, but it was worth it to play Arma 3 and Fall Out in the interm. Would recommend as a temporary solution if you research on the forums first to verify compatibility and get lucky that it will all work.

    It's been a while since I've binge watched Linus videos, I'm kind of off and on, I'll start binge-watching him for a month or so, lose interest, then come back to him again in like 2 months, but if I wear asked to pick just one thing I love about this channel, is that you keep your intro plugs around 10 seconds long.
    While this sounds like an arbitrary thing, it is insanely smart, most phones nowadays allow you to skip 10 seconds if you double tap the right side of your screen really quick, and is what I would assume a lot of us do anytime a sponsor plug is played in a video, we just double tap until we are skipped through it, because we're binge-watching content and want to get to the point, but, most of the time we overshoot or undershoot and have to find where the sponsor plug actually ends, Linus keeping it at 10 seconds on all of his videos means one double tap and we're into the content.

    Hi Linus, thanks for the interesting video, as usual.
    I don't quite agree though, there is a very interesting market for this: Business laptops.
    I got myself a Dell Latitude E6530 with a decent I7 3720QM and plenty of RAM for 150 bucks. Professionnal buisness laptops are dead cheap nowadays.
    All I did was upgrade to a decent Samsung SSD (50$) and this thing crunches numbers like some descent desktop machines.
    Recently I got myself a beast with a mini PCI-E connection (80$) and a cheap GTX 780Ti (70$!) and am using a PSU I had lying around.
    For less than 350$ I now have a very capable and still portable laptop to do CAD or play games with.
    This thing has 3 mini PCI-E connectors from the factory and swapping the DVD drive for an Ebay SSD tray makes it easy to get an HDMI cable to connect the beast without even cutting a single hole in the case + still being able to close it.
    Maybe this wasn't interesting in april 2018, but you should definitively have another look at laptops with e-gpus today ;)

The ram and Harddrive and even wireless and battery are extremely easy to change on this laptop, im surprised graphics arent. Then again, my knowledge on computer hardware is pretty limited
