The recently anounced macbooks wil have pcie ssd built in, maybe this will open the doors for a pcie connection for eGpu

Did you already received this adapter? If so yes, what are the results?

Yes im interested in a way to make this detachable too. I'm very curious if something like this: will work. I don't have a PE4L yet but i'm thinking to buy one to use it on my aspire s7 ultrabook.

I've send an e-mail to Bplus about the gen2 compatibility, their answer to me: Hi Sir, Sorry, KZ-B22 can't support Gen 2. Best Regards, Roger</pre>

I am also interested in this extender, can someone confirm it is working on x2 speed?

PE4L 2.1b and PE4H 3.2 will both work on pci-e 2.0 speed. An updated version of the PE4H 2.4 with pcie 2.0 speed compatibility was released, but it seems it will not work on pci-e 2.0 speed, as someone tested it on this forum. Tech Inferno Fan comment: Bplus have subsequently removed all references to pci-e 2.0 compatibility from their PE4H 2.4 and PE4L 1.5 page upon us discovering and alerting them it can't reliably operate at that speed. Short summary: only PE4L 2.1 and PE4H 3.2 are pci-e 2.0 compatible. Both use a cable soldered on both ends. Any product that uses a cable with a mHDMI connector on one or both ends (PE4L 1.5, PE4H 2.4) will fail pci-e 2.0 transmission.

What i still dont get is: why is it so difficult (for Bplus) to make the cable detachable? Couldnt it be simply done just by cutting of the hdmi cable and use a universal connector to connect/disconnect it? Something like this: Maybe it is possible to mod a current PE4L this way to be detachable.

I don't understand what a picopsu is, is it that small board on which the psu is placed? Or is it something like convertor to connect a notebook adapter?

Question for people who have a sandy bridge i5-2520m dual core laptop(8gb ram) with x1.2opt setup, will it run battlefield 3 on maximum settings on internal screen? (with a card like gtx460/560ti)?

nando what about x1.2opt vs x2.2(opt/lucid) on internal screen?

According to this guide on NBR, your iGpu should work by removing a file in windows. So maybe you can get optimus working

Theres someone on NBR who got a thunderbolt egpu x4.2 working on a mba, with igpu working. He used efi +windows 8. Check his guide here: Sonnet Thunderbolt/Expresscard adapter paired with Vidock and 2011 Macbook Pro - Page 6 Question for nando/everyone: do you expect that the zenbook ux32vd will have problems with running egpu? Tolud/dgpu/bios/whitelisting/whatever? Hmm i really cant decide now what to choose, since thunderbolt is already working under x4.2 link, but its very expensive.

Did anyone tried a egpu to a asus zenbook ux32vd? Im considering to buy this laptop, because it gorgeous IPS screen. Will the ux32vd be able to run a egpu? I found a picture with bottomplate removed, it seems like theres only one (used) wlan slot(usable mpcie slot?). Another question will it possible to make a diy connector for the pe4l cable? (I mean just cutting of the cable, and use anything like this?) If theres a way to make a custom connector for the cable, then its possible to make only a small hole in the bottomplate, to let the cable come out. ---------------- update: teardown guide from ifixit says link: the Intel 6235 Wi-Fi / Bluetooth 4.0 card comes out of its mini PCI Express socket. Inside we find two Intel ICs: Intel 82550 Fast Ethernet Controller Intel 82549MDE Wi-Fi controller Does this mean that LAN functionality of this laptop is also placed/integrated on the intel mpcie card? So removing this card also removes LAN functionality?

Nando thanks for your answers. what kind of powersupply is this? looks very compact -> 200 Watt DC-DC ATX Another idea: will it be possible to use the internal screen at x2 2.0 (or x4 1.0 for bbx^) speed over expresscard with the lucid software. According to the lucid homepage: "Virtu MVP Mobile - Replaces Optimus", in the product page it says: "boosts gaming responsiveness up to 70%" Lucidlogix with the multi gpu solution Did anyone made a comparision for optimus vs lucid?

Is the PE4L adapter available with detachable cable+2.0speed? PE4L-060A?
