What is ExpressCard Slot ?

Express card slots are one of the coolest input’s ever for laptops Mainly they are just PCI express 1x slot’s crammed in a box and are able to do a lot, since there desktop PCI express slot’s.  Now many things have been made for express card slots, like network dongles, and sound blasters. But here is the problem. They barely make them anymore. I could understand old technology but there still incredible. Anyways they make so much stuff for express card slots now. Like USB 3.0 hubs. SSD’s and more. But the best thing is this. EGPU.. Yes you can basically have a full sized GPU, running with your laptops, and I like them too. But those are way too expensive and you might need a new power supply, more cooling and a lot more if you want to upgrade the GPU, and it’s still an early feature to laptops. But EGPU’s are different. EGPU stands for external graphics processing unit and that means the GPU will go outside of the laptop. Doesn’t sound great until you realize there is adapter from GDC and allows full desktop graphics cards to run on laptops. That’s even better. And all graphics card work even ones with 4 to 8 pin connectors will work, because it can use a full power supply. So if a express card slot an handle a GPU. Then it should be to handle a lot more items that have low per consumption of course. But the reason why is mainly because of thunderbolt becoming popular, and it’s a 1x PCI express card slot. But it’s still poplar and will make almost any laptop amazing. Another all feature by te way is that since is a really fast port, it can use USB 3.0 and more. If you’re a console gamer and want to record our game console you can get a capture card express card slot! Too bad it’s gone but you can still buy some laptop with it or use a old laptop to get a full size GPU on a laptop.
