Are there external gpu for laptops7/9/2023 ![]() Will this be the year that external docks really take off? Much as I’d like to see that happen, I’m guessing the answer is no. MSI and Alienware aren’t the only ones trying it this year, either: Gigabyte had their own prototype dock on display at CES 2015, too. The Graphics Amplifier will be available solo for $300, and it’s already compatible with two Alienware laptops, with more on the way.Ī few PC companies have tried this idea in the past, using Thunderbolt and other high-speed connectors, but no docking station has caught on just yet. ![]() MSI’s got the better hardware, but Alienware currently has a leg up on flexibility. It’s also missing the full-on docking station features of MSI’s dock, with no Ethernet or audio ports, no speakers, and no 3.5-inch drive bay. Instead of filling 16 PCIe lanes, it can only use 4, which limits the bandwidth of the desktop graphics card. Alienware’s Graphics Amplifier is the same basic piece of hardware, with a few limitations.
