Being able to plug in an external desktop graphics card with its own power supply is a big plus! My Alienware laptop, an M17XR4, has had its discrete graphics card fail twice, the motherboard failed once, the integrated graphics on the new mobo failed, and even the keyboard had to be replaced (and not because I broke any of the keys - though I could easily have done so when the second graphics card failed). To their credit, Dell did replace some things free of charge, but the second (replacement) graphics card failed outside of its miserly 3-month warranty, so the laptop has gone into indefinite storage.

Looks like a nice unit. I give the reviewer a 6 out of 10, however.

Yeah.... I thought the comment about the "13 incher" might have been a little over rated...

Like Nvidia's G-Sync, one wonders why no one thought of this sooner.

The idea of hooking up an external graphics card to a laptop is a brilliant idea. It's the best of both worlds. !!*ok*!!
