Hey Guys,

I Have A Old Laptop (Hp Elitebook 2560p With a i5 2450M) with Upgraded 16 gigs ddr3 Ram And I Have Recently Gotten My Hands On A Amd R9 295x2 And a Thermal-take Tough power 1275 W Psu And I Was Wondering If I Can Hook Up This Graphics Card With My Laptop Via a Expgdc Egpu Dock (Using The Mini-PcIe Version). If You See Some Obvious Compatibility Issues Please Comment.

In theorie, yes. Check the Laptop manual if it has this interface, or not for some reason.

And you have to set certain Options in Bios, depending on the Laptop. 

PXE Boot to LAN "disabled", for example.

And you have to tell certain Games via Windows Graphics Settings to use the external device. After you installed the GPU driver of course.

Its a boot environment for Server / Client assembly. Nothing you should care much about as standart PC user.
