Laptops with express card slots

[geniuz999]

Hello guys can anyone here suggest me a laptop which should have atleast core i5 or i7 with express card slot because i want to hook an external graphics card.I have an old dell laptop with core 2 duo cpu and i was using gtx650 ti boost version but newer games requires more cpu power and this laptops cpu is just pathetic.I searched here and there but almost all newer laptops don't have express card slot.

Laptops featuring an Express Card port are becoming few and far between anymore. I think what you might want to look at here is a Thunderbolt port, with more than double the throughput of an express card it is touted as the latest "best thing" for external graphics.

The biggest drawback of Thunderbolt is the expense but some shopping may find more affordable Thunderbolt adapters/solutions

If wanting to stay with the Express Card solution, there may still be some business models that feature that. As you've noted, they're getting quite hard to find anymore.

Hey buddy,
Your options for reasonably priced & up-to-date laptops with extendable GPU slots are:-
Lenovo Thinkpad T530
Lenovo Thinkpad W540
Lenovo Thinkpad SS430 (only the models with core i5 & i7 processors)
Lenovo Thinkpad TS430 (only the models without NVidia GPUs)
HP ZBook 14
HP ZBook 17

I applaud your preference for highly modifiable laptops, especially in an increasingly dystopian global political environment that seems dedicated to minimize your choices and shove fascist technology down your throat. You will find these talks by highly respected hackers well worth your time:
