(I would suggest that you follow your topic)

I don't believe this would work with your computer.

Your computer would have to have a mini PCI-E port which are not really a thing in small notebooks.

Also it is completely impracticable. You would have to use a desktop Power supply to power it and then you have to try and get it to actually work.

If you can actually get it to work after all that you need to use an external monitor an a display.

If you know that you have an mpcie port in your laptop, there is a chance that product will work for your laptop. I would recommend checking a disassembley video of your laptop to see if there is an mpcie wireless card on the motherboard. This would also require you to cut a hole in the back-plate of your laptop for the cable to run through.

I just bought EXP-GDC from GearBest and received it today. I have been testing it on some laptops and will soon test it on an old Lenovo. Later I will be planning on building an enclosure for it with a small power supply. It also accepts standard 12V power cables like one from a laptop.

If you are planning on using a Nvidia gpu, there is a trick to get the card to display back onto the laptop screen by messing with the drivers.

Look for promo codes for the site to get a good deal.
