Sager NP3132?

I'm looking for as much information on this as possible. Does its ThunderBolt 3 port run off of 2 or 4 pci-e lanes? This could make for a great laptop to drive an eGPU depending on the TB3 port.

Any further details beyond what is not mentioned on the Sager and XoticPC sites would be appreciated.

 

When I google search for this laptop in review my post is the second thing found in google search.

The section on Thunderbolt 3/USB 3.1 combo port stated 40Gbps max throughput, so it's PCIe 3 4x.
Realistically you'll get at most 32Gbps for eGPU throughput, and this is assuming that the firmware supports TB3 eGPU altogether.
Also keep in mind that the CPU is going to be a massive bottleneck with its low TDP and clock.

 

To confirm yes it is 4x.

Also the bottleneck will depend on the card chosen, if it's a 1060 for some 1080p gaming I don't think you need to worry.

 

Thanks for your responses folks! I'm might take some time with a few setups like this with eGPUs but i'm studying this solution while simultaneously seeing how communities across the net respond to various threads and posts made. Trying to feel out if a market even exists to justify the work.

what other variants are there of this? The 36Wh battery is kinda low
