My laptop is 11 years old. It's seen me through university, important milestones, and done projects professional and personal. It's gotten dropped, had water spilled on it, died several times, gotten fixed, upgraded, and now it's basically a low-level Frankenstein monster of a computer-- but I absolutely love it. It's outlived several of my friends' desktops and laptops, all of them newer, with them using them with less strenuous work. With your video, I hope to be able to keep it for much longer and play more games and edit more videos with it. Thank you for this!

Great video man, it's a really clean and straight foward tutorial and review for the EXP GDC. I already have experience using Exp GDC on my Thinkpad X220, it's a great choice for those who want the portability of a notebook but with the gaming power of a desktop. Right now i'm lookin for a way to improve the looks and portability of my Egpu setup, as i don't have yet a case for it not even the dell D220 power supply, but i'm going to solve that soon.

[@EasyTechs]

You're right Thomas, the D220 isn't that portable as mentioned in the tutorial, is just relatively smaller and more organized. Thanks for the feedback bro, and good luck with further improvement on your setup

[@hrmpug1092]

If I want to use my laptop on the go, can I just unplug the eGPU and plug it in later with minimal setup?

[@concernedcommenter8258]

Taking the plug out during use is risky. If you power off the computer and then take it out it should be fine, while unplugged there is no guarantee things will work properly but aside from some errors that might happen it should be safe. Computer should work fine again when plugged back in anyways. Once again I recommend powering off the PC before plugging the GPU back in.

I have same laptop just like in 4:29 and I wonder if that small express card will fit on the express slot here since it has wider slot. Then, if someone who doesn't have express card, there is one solution although, you might have to take out your wireless card inside your laptop and install the special cable (I don't know what it is called). This is a good example of budget gaming rig for those who has a laptop and want to play games even on mid range graphic settings. Might plan to do this external GPU + upgrade of RAM and SSD and another external HDD because I do study video editing, photoshops and some play some games on my steam.

Hello! Thanks for your supportive video but I have a question. When I plugged in the eGPU to the laptop, there's no notification showed up. Did I miss something in the setup process?

Hello- Thanks for the great tutorial! I'd like to ask for your help regarding the Express card adapter- I have a Lenovo w530 and want to use this solution. It came with the Nvidia Quadro K2000M adapter (internal). I'm hoping to eventually run a Nvidia 3070 graphics card and drive the laptop screen & 2 external monitors. Question - I have noticed different version of the - Express Card Mini PCI-E Version V8.0 EXP GDC PCIe adapter. When I looked for the hardware on Ebay, I noticed some vendors listing a v8.5 version. Is there a difference and would that cause a problem based on my laptop model? On your t website linked above there is a version 8.4 I'm not sure how this might impact the operation, if I attempted to use that version with my current hardware. Also - there are additional codes listed in the item description- A6M0 AC774 AC773 I'm not sure how to interpret those and would be grateful for any insight you or anyone reading this thread could provide regarding the information I am seeking. Thanks in advance for your consideration, M-
