Notebook that can accept desktop video card

Which notebook that can accept standard desktop video card?

 

Absolutely none, not existent.

 

This one:

 

ADINU you forgot the batteries all laptops have batteries here this one should work.

 

Do you realize how large a desktop card is?

Have you looked at the size of a laptop lately?

 

Yes I know they can take as many as 2 or 3 PCI slots. I am just wondering if there is a market for people who want the best gaming experience but doesn't want to deal with the bulky desktop computer.

 

Supposedly Asus was working on an external card that could hook up through the ExpressCard slot. I haven't heard much about it lately.

 

This laptop might work, It has a standard pci slot in it


I built that as an art piece for my architecture portfolio.
Unfortunately I do not have any better pics as of now, but you can see them on my website: (under current projects then scraptop)

the only thing you can even look at is the Asus XG Station

... which is an external enclosure for desktop PCI-E Videocards

It requires a ExpressSlot/54... and an external display to connect to the XG Station.

 

But let's not forget the tiny caveat with the XG station: You can't actually buy one yet. In fact, nobody knows if you're ever going to be able to.

That said, the ThinkPad advanced dock has a PCI-E slot that can accept a standard-length, half-height card. The problem is that it runs at 1x, so don't expect miracles.

 

Looks like you're missing a battery

Until you have one, it could only be classified as a very small desktop.

 

Yes there is a market for gaming, and the name Sager, Alienware, Dell XPS, Asus... are well known for that.
The upcoming SLI 8800 GTX in the Alienware 17x and Sager NP 9261 should be good to handle any games at this moment, if that is your concern.
And to your other question, it has been answer by somebody above.

 

I knew I forgot something in the build. I have an intergrated power supply though.

It is pretty sweet for like 5 hours of making. Hey, it helped me to get accepted into RPI, Cornell, Syracuse so I cannot complain.

You might be able to find a small battery backup type thing to use as a makeshift battery.

Sweet design though, repped, and grats on the colleges.

 

Do the video cards in these specialized machines upgradeable? I have seen people selling video cards for laptops at eBay and I am wondering if I can upgrade when Nvidia comes up with faster video card in a year or two.
