I found on internet this information:
Other good things about this laptop are a PCI Express-based SD card reader in which cards sit all the way in, and transfers over 70MBps were observed from our Strontium microSD card (in a microSD to full SD adapter card, of course). This is a good way to carry around large files that you don't want to burden the SSD with.

What you think? maybe another solution replace sdcard whit mpcie connector?

Great

I ask Information about the adapter P11S-P11F, that i I have attached before:
they aswered this:
P11S-P11F can use for your laptop.
But we can’t guarantee it.
Because for external VGA, maybe meet power or reset timing issue.

What does the phrase that I highlighted?

for this I don't have decent answer =) but as I mentioned in first post - there is no guarantee that these solutions would work, as plunging eGPU is not as straight forward as it could be, considering all those interfaces to introduce another layer of complexity..so, chose is Your - You can always try things out - if that will not work for You simply pu adapter on sale & that's it.

is it possible to do that via SD? I guess, but I haven't ever seen that..

I use Lenovo Thinkpad W541 with a cluster from Amfeltec, If your laptop has an express card slot, you can buy a cluster that has a connection option for express card. so you can use 4x GPUs inside your laptop

maybe the powder is the faulth...:D

I tried with another VGA, all right, is not burnt!
The big problem is another:
I connected the PCIe extender (mpcie to pci x16), module slot wifi, I turned on the notebook, but unfortunately the PC is left with a black screen and the "Fn" key with the light on ...
i don t have any chance to connect a external vga? (usb3, hdmi,m.2 internal slot)
Bye
