M6700 1/2 Mini - for what?

An external graphics card adapter which connects to the mini PCI-E could be used as well except that the bottom lid would need to be removed to route the cable.

 

Can explain in more detail? I can't follow your explaination. Thank you.

 

Second test - nothing happend!
This card do not work with my Dell M6700.

 

You will likely need to remove the internal dedicated card to try that

 

That sucks.... I don't want to let that space free for nothing and something like this card would be the only usable option. I don't need extra WLAN or or something else. But an extra SSD or 2 additional sd-cards would be pretty cool.

Anyone installed something yet?

 

There are some 3rd party adapters to connect a desktop card either via the express card slot or via those PCI-E expansion slots on the bottom (but you'd have to route the cable out somehow). You don't need to remove the dedicated card for this, but you do need to have a configuration with switching graphics (so no RGB IPS screen which connects to dedicated card directly).

Description says "Available capacity ranges from 16GB to 128GB" at one place.

Anyone tried a 128 or 256 half-size in the m6700?

 

An mSATA drive is different than a PCIe card (even though they look the same). An mSATA drive will not work in the half-size slot.

 

Alright, thank you!

 

As an aside... This week, I installed an ATSC TV tuner card in the WWAN slot and hooked it up to one of the WWAN antennas. The system recognizes it fine, but I am not able to pull in any channels. I guess a WWAN antenna isn't adequate for OTA TV.
