...which got me thinking whether this dock be used with a computer that does NOT have a single M.2 port? In other words, for example - use an M.2 to USB 3.0 adapter to connect to the computer and the GPU etc as shown in this video. Or have I been watching too many Jeff Geerling videos 😃 Keep up the great work, guys? Perhaps you guys should consider doing a collab video on getting something like that to work in case there might not be a straightforward way to do that...

Pro tip with the laptop setup, they make HDMI dummy plugs (google it, you will find a bunch) that you can plug into the external GPU. It will trick the GPU into thinking it has a working monitor plugged in. With that set up, you go into display settings and set the GPU to have the same resolution as the laptop display then set the the laptop and GPU to duplicate each other with the GPU set as the primary display adapter. This way a game that loads wont even look at the integrated graphics and load on the correct GPU, but since the laptop display is duplicating whatever is showing on the external GPU you will see the game/desktop as though it was running on the internal GPU. Now you don't need the external monitor.

Thank you for this! I was actually thinking about how this could be accomplished this very morning!

Pretty impressive! I bought a mini PC as backup after crashing my main computer, now I can make a side project to transform it into a decent gaming backup.

Man you're a life saver. I was worried when I saw that my newly purchased VivoBook flip didn't have a thunderbolt 3 type c.

I was trying to do this with a Dell AIO a few years back. They had some kind of lock on the M.2 slot to only allow certain devices. While there were a LOT of customized firmwares out there to unlock various M.2's on lots of machines, they didn't have one for my particular machine. So the whole project was a "no-go". I did pick up an alienware graphics accelerator for ridiculously cheap that I wanted to gut out (just needed the shell since most are prohibitively expensive) to stick the adapter into...has been sitting in a box of forgotten projects ever since.

I wondered this, glad to see it's finally here. Also waiting for a USB 4 adapter for the M.2 slot.

For instance a graphics score of 10,000 in Timespy would be an amazing result for that card, so a 9070 is pretty damn impressive with that setup.

It's definitely a clunky setup right now, but with this functionality in M.2, hopefully ease-of-use improvements are a few iterations away.

Also with this the internal gpu should be disconnected and that external m2 slot should be greater than 4x, that’s assuming the 4x limitation of m2 is from the cpu and not connector. If it’s the connector that’s fine but if not it should be greater than 4x.
