Not yet! Laptops right now don't have any connections that can hook up to video cards fast enough. Desktops have PCI-E, which, at x16, tops out at 8 Gbps, but laptops just have "CardBus" to get by (which is equivalent to the older PCI slot) and tops out at 132 Mbps.
When laptops get some sort of externally accessible bus that can go as fast as PCI-E, you'll see external video card for laptops.

And if that different one connects or works an same way the Asus XG Station does, IMHO i do not imagine its properly truthfully worth the money. you may construct one staggering laptop for what you'll in all likelihood spend on a Asus XG station, both video playing cards to positioned into the XG station, and an exterior video reveal to hook as a lot because the XG station....

as far as my knowledge goes, no, i recently purchases a multimedia laptop from hp and the video card is internal, if you want yours replaced i would bring it to best buy ( geek squad ) and if you but the card there i think they install it free or for a cheap price
