Does this card work in laptops? I have an alienware m17x so if it can fit in any laptop I probably have one that can due to its size.

I doubt it, it's quite a large video card. I have two in my desktop but they are very big. Definitely meant for desktops. Unless you have a huge laptop it's not meant for it.

Youre new to computers im guessing. This card only works on desktops. Its about 11" long and takes up 2 pci-e slots.

No, this card is designed to fit desktop models only with PCI-E x16 2.0/3.0 lanes at bandwidth of x4 , x8 or x16. Laptops use a smaller more power friendly MXM style card. Look for a GTX680M - the M stands for MOBILE for laptops only. I use the GTX680 in my custom built desktop to drive 3 20'' monitors and a 55'' TV and my laptop - New Alienware 14 uses a GTX765M. I now the AW17 uses MXM cards but my AW14 has the card soldered right to the mainboard and cannot be swapped out as easily so be aware. Also be aware of matching 2 GTX cards for SLI - Im not sure if thats possible with the AW17 and MOBILE graphics cards are extremely expensive. Good luck in your search!

No, this is a discrete GPU meant only for desktop applications. They do make an "M" version of this card for laptops though.
1240584
No. This is a full size PCI-E card for desktop computers. Laptops use an entirely different graphics card system to desktops. Contact Alienware support for questions regarding upgrading your laptop, for a fee they might be able to upgrade it.

This is a PC version of the NVIDIA series and I doubt that it goes in Laptops also Laptop GPUs are hardwired into the system so you technically cannot upgrade the chip

Did you happen to try this card in the laptops? I have the same AR5BXB61 card and looking at this intel 5300. Or was there another card that worked better in the Toshiba laptops?

No, it fits into a PC Card port, aka a PCMCIA slot. Most laptops don't have them anymore. I'm using these cards with 10 year old laptops that all have the PC Card port

You will lose memory bandwidth performance, as the card will only be running at x1 slot bandwidth speed. It will definitely work, but you'll have to find out how much performance reduction you'll get running the card in x1 mode vs x16.

Hi, thanks for contacting us. This card is not dell specific. It will work in any system that has the appropriate expansion slot. If there is anything else I can do for you or if you have any other questions please let me know. Sincerely, Chris nickels Red Planet Trading

No. It must fit into a full-sized PCI card rack. Few laptops are made for video upgrading, and so, the process is tricky. Many do not try. Some rig up a normal-sized video card externally making custom connections within their laptops. It can be done if you feel comfortable disassembling your laptop.

No, it will not work in a laptop. It is designed for a spacious desktop/tower with lots of room for an attached cooling fan. You need to search for the Intel (or AMD) CPU that mates to your laptop's specific motherboard.

If it truely is a mSata SSD disk then yes it will work, any and most mSata cards work very well with this adapter depending on the size and shape they have. Now according to your specs I pulled up and looking at a similar laptop this will properly fit into the adapter. If you have any other questions feel free to ask and I will try and respond promptly as possible.

I hadn't heard that, but it would explain it. Anyone have any suggestions on what kind of card works to expand the memory?

Almost absolutely yes. I'm not sure what model came with your laptop, but these cards come in two types, normal and half size. This is half, so it will fit in any modern laptop, though it might not be the right size, meaning the screw mounts might not line up. My solution in this scenario has been a smidge of duct tape. A full size card will be too large for newer machines that only have room for a half size card. I see no reason why Win 7 will not handle this, driver wise. I should say i am not absolutely sure, but near absolutely sure only because i do not use these with the intention for Windows compatibility, rather for OS X. That is the advantage of these cards, they work in my dual OS systems which have Windows and OS X. I have like five of them. They have worked fine in every machine i put them in, but the only reason they could might not possibly work is if the motherboard of your laptop was designed before the 802.11N standard. If your laptop shipped with an "N" card, then this will should almost absolutely work.

This card is for a desktop PC. It is not designed to be installed in a laptop. If you even have to ask this question you should not be attempting to upgrade your laptops video yourself. Take it to a professional. Most laptops are not able to have their video systems upgraded anyway.

This is a dual width card. You need 2 open slots in order for it to fit. It 'should' be compatible as long as it fits and there are no hardware conflicts.

John, I'm unsure if this card fits in a PCI Express slot (although the description says it does). It is rather large. Also, be aware that it uses two (2) six-pin power connectors on your motherboard.

This card is a mini PCI format card. If your laptop supports this form factor then it will physically fit in it. Windows and Ubuntu have drivers for the 2200BG. Hopefully, this is enough information to help you decide whether or not it will work in your laptop.

Hello Emon...I'm not sure. I'm using a slightly smaller card. You will not be disappointed by the unit in any way!!!

My system runs a x16. I guess looking up my possible candidates I didn't realize the obvious difference. I plugged the card in and it still works! However, I would advise looking for x16 still, because it sounds like that is not always the case.

Hi Thank you for your interest. If your graphic card chipset support 2560x1440 resolution, it works with your laptop. To make sure please contact your laptop manufacturer. If you have any other question, please feel free to contact us again. Thank you.
