    Hey guys,

    I wanted to play on my internal monitor with an eGPU. So if I have the Lenovo ThinkPad S430 or any other laptop that has both Thunderbolt and Intel HD graphics, I should technically be able to run eGPU on my internal screen right?

    According to this Desktop graphics for your laptop using thunderbolt or expresscard - General-Laptops-Notebooks - Laptops-Notebooks (People didn't take him very seriously), you could use a PE4H-EC2C ver2.4 kit and spend an extra $20 for adapters. With this in mind, one would be able to run eGPU on an internal monitor I would think...

    what about reading other posts and topics before making a new one about something that is widely written about for years? but you think right.

    Yea I ran to the other forum where I found some answers by reading. It's not possible for Thunderbolt to be run on an internal screen. I'm thinking of using PE4L for now but haven't decided on graphics card yet. As for Thunderbolt.. prob just have to wait till more laptops come out with it.
