12.5" HP Elitebook 2570P Owner's Lounge

Thanks for the pointers. This is my first business line of laptops and it feels quite good. About the 1.3MP webcam part, I'll look into that a bit more with the connectors, unless it's a standard plug and play. Will make my order by the weekend and get back to you if it turns out successful or otherwise.- 1882 replies

I'll see if I can borrow a drill and file. Just got back and am finally using it! Had to get this since my DTR got stolen. Upon further inspection, I'm loving the keyboard so far. I noticed that pentalobe screws are being used. Don't know if this is normal or used as an obstacle to hide dodgy defects. Since I don't have a pentalobe screwdriver I can't check just yet. Am I being overly paranoid?- 1882 replies

Thanks! I'm still out and about so I haven't had time to take a good look. But the bezel has some sort of indent or cover where the webcam is supposed to be. But if I'm looking at getting a new bezel along with it, perhaps it would be more sound to buy a decent webcam instead?- 1882 replies

Hey guys, recently got myself a 2570p in great condition for under 350! Only peeve is that it doesn't have a webcam. Found one on AliExpress for about 20 bucks http://m.aliexpress.com/item/1830079820.html Do I just have to buy that and fit that in? I'm contemplating on either getting that or just an external webcam.- 1882 replies

Eventually did. Posted this on the main eGPU thread. http://forum.techinferno.com/diy-e-gpu-projects/2109-diy-egpu-experiences-%5Bversion-2-0%5D-284.html#post88337 -

M.2 NGFF SSD Compatibility List | My Digital Discount Just found that piece of information for anyone considering NGFF M.2 eGPU set ups. -

Just wondering; the NGFF M.2 slots on the Haswell Lenovos, are those the ones compatible with eGPU or has it not been confirmed yet? Just took a look through the manual and I can't find (or missed) any clarification on what the slot supports. -

I'm curious; has anybody attempted an NGFF M.2 set up? -
eGPU experiences [version 2.0]

Ah brilliant, I'm compelled to post to further emphasize my gratitude for making it so clear cut. Like most people considering the solution, they're after looking for an alternative to maintaining some relative portability and saving some money instead of getting a desktop to supplement the lack of power. Currently I'm considering a notebook and basing it's viability on a decent balance between portability and eGPU performance for when I'm at home, and the refreshed rMBP 13" with the thunderbolt 2.0 comes to mind. From what I can grasp, it gives the optimal (theoretical) output so that I can get the most out of the intended GPU. What I don't understand is how the W530 scored more than the rMBP 15" with the same GPU. I thought Thunderbolt has superior bandwidth compared to the other options, e.g in this case, I thought Expresscard < Thunderbolt? -

Hey guys! I've been following the threads for quite a while now, and I figured I might get a better response here instead of NBR since the creator of that thread is actually here. So I'm trying to find out the performance hit an eGPU set up would take compared to a desktop. What I think I get so far, is that output to an external screen gives better results than the LCD. All I'm looking for is optimal performance for an external output. I'm sorry if I phrased the entire post wrongly, I'm still trying to wrap my head around the whole eGPU thing.
