The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    Depending on what graphic solution your laptop has, it might be worth it. A desktop will give you way better performance with the same GPU than the ViDock though. It's a bandwidth issue, you can't achieve the bandwidth of a pci-e 16x on a ViDock.
