    hi guyz ! am planning to buy a new laptop, preferably the hp probook 4430s. It does have an expresscard slot and is very similar to the probook 4530s. My questions are :
    a) which would be the cheapest and best adapter for egpu ??
    b) will a radeon 6670 work ??
    c) can u suggest any other gpu alternatives for this setup under $110 ??

    please suggest a good yet cheap express card adapter for this setup !
    thanks in advance :) :D

    why don't you buy a notebook with thunderbolt since you are looking for an egpu solution?
    best and cheap is not going to happen. go expensive and good or cheap and poor.
    any pci-e card will work.
