I knew it was possible to replace CPU in a laptop, but upgrading a GPU was a really new thing to me. Thanks for revealing it! ;D

MXM held such promise, too bad the GPU manufacturers didn't set a single standard for it and left it up to the notebook manufacturers and it has all but failed. I can get an RTX 2080 MXM card for my Clevo-based machine but that's the end of the line as it doesn't look like there will be any RTX Super MXM cards (or beyond).

maybe they'll upgrade them with RTX 3000, who knows? the super cards probably didn't seem like a significant upgrade for them to launch a whole manufacturing line. The main issue with mxm is you need to have a thicker laptop, and most people don't wanna carry around a brick like that, but it definitely has it's use, I hope all laptops will be upgradeable in the future somehow, without sacrificing on thickness too much, as I don't need a super thin laptop either, I want to have all needed ports and a large enough battery, not to mention decent cooling.

Just put one of these beasts in my Alienware m17x r4, and wow! 1080p gaming is now possible. This video inspired me to pull the trigger o;the card so truly thank you! Great video!
