    So i'm not overly 'Tech savvy' and i heard something about 'external graphics cards' for laptops...

    Just wondering if they're legit & work?

    If you have one please let me know because i'm tempted to get one.

    Alienware has an amplifier Alienware Graphics Amplifier Review & Rating | PCMag.com
    It works great, but the price isn't worth it imo, you also can't use it mobile since it's rather big and heavy.
    You can take it to lan parties though.
    If you need desktop power, you should buy a desktop pc imo.
    Also note amplifier( $300) + gtx 970 ($320) = $620..
    I don't know if other brands have an amplifier.

    Sure, you can put in a 950, that would amp ($300 )+ 950 ($175) = $475.
    This is not worth the money though. Rememer you need an compatitible Alienware laptop to use the amp.
