A non-proprietary solution...like Thunderbolt / Thunderbolt II, which has double the bandwidth through channel aggregation, or thunderbolt 3 which doubles what 2 was capable of: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thunderbolt_%28interface%29#Thunderbolt_2 http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thunderbolt_%28interface%29#T... Really don't know why they don't want to license external enclosures with ~300w power supplies, space for 3x width cards, and 16x PCI-E (physically) slots that would let you run whatever GPUs you want. It definitely seems like all the pieces are there, and if you could add $50 to the cost of a mid-range laptop to add a Thunderbolt port which would let you connect whatever GPU box to it, it seems like Intel would sell more Thunderbolt licenses and chipsets. Consumers would love the choice of upgradable optional notebook graphics, and you wouldn't need to drop an extra $1000 on a laptop with beefy internal GPUs just to play games that a $600 laptop's CPU could easily handle. I can only assume that they don't do this because it would kill the gaming laptop market and possibly some of the desktop PC market.
