QUOTE(miong93 @ Apr 23 2015, 10:43 PM) Yea. But IIRC there is also one thread in this forum teaching people to mod their laptop to use different gpu. Not sure is PC gpu or mobile gpu. But it is also doing similar stuff I think, damn chio. For ncx, does he use custom BIOS ? Too technical for me liao.. hahaha i saw it for myself... the pic and everything for the past 4-5 years ago if not mistaken... its pc gpu....  custom modification... connect to external monitor iinm.. cant remember... i think he use custom bios... else... the mobo might only detect integrated gpu  that time, i just remember... i ask a question in a thread regarding external desktop gpu run on laptop... since then, the great discussion was begin  until we saw few pictures.. that old times... when Astria sifu and lee_what2004 still active..

QUOTE(myway1985 @ Apr 23 2015, 07:15 PM) If u know hoe to.modify.. dun need gaming laptop... just found out wat Ncx did.. but warranty void LOLZ... it doenst void the warranty of the laptop, the desktop heatsink just stick on original laptop heatsink with a thermal pad for fun, it did reduce the temp abit. Latitude E7240 heatsink and fan is too small for a 4600U. For the External GPU part, it just connected to the MSATA port of the laptop , and install driver of the external GPU, no bios modification or anything technical step needed. the only thing u need is to buy the PCIE expansion.

Preferred laptop/screen size: 15" inch. get used to it. 5. Reliable and has long useful life. lasting battery life too. is it true that acer, lenovo and msi get heated very fast. if overheat, is it till the extent of shutting down?? hope to get feedback. thx for fifa better u use GTX950 graphic card n above. u can look for MSI GE60 2QD (GTX950M) or GE60 2QE (GTX960M), c/w I7cpu, 1TB HDD (7200rpm), built in Steel series KB, killer lan, dynaudio, sound blaster cinema, miracast n etc.. msi famous in gaming laptop n provide a lot of features that needed by gamers... should consider

QUOTE(Ivan11 @ Apr 23 2015, 06:28 PM) that just doesn't make sense, how can Brightstar not know? aren't all resellers suppose to know the product their selling? you sound like a MSI fanboy. i see all your past posts are all on MSI threads.  Sound like one? Of course lah i'm a MSI Fanboy lah. Love their products and design. Also i'm just here to help since not many people talks about MSI stuff or say about it. Anyway, not all resellers are sifus lah. Some are just regular sales person who know more about the spec rather than the detailed stuff like OS, backup etc etc I even experience before salesman try and sell me PC rig with the FASTEST harddisk speed compared to other brand. 14,000RPM. Waaaahhhh.. Lols!
