Sassy Romano Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 I stumbled across this today, not exactly what you'd call a portable solution but the price is right, add in a suitable graphics card and power supply and it might appeal to someone.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bP_8EYQ-2RAhttp://www.ebay.com/itm/111682179200?rmvSB=true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madelaine McMasters Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Any computer with a Thunderbolt port (Most current Apple products) can do this via that port and an external chassis. My boarder currently uses his Macbook Pro to connect to a six card PCI-E chassis containing some audio DSP cards and a graphics adapter. https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=thunderbolt+chassis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sassy Romano Posted October 26, 2015 Author Share Posted October 26, 2015 Yes but there's a significant difference in the age and price of the technologies. The item I linked is $60 and working with a 9 year old laptop vs thunderbolt equivalent which is 3 to 4 times the price and thunderbolt has only been around for 4 years as a technology but yes, same result. I hadn't seen anything for mini PCI before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bree Giffen Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 The new thing here is that Thunderbolt 3 was just unveiled this June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
