Everybody is on the AI bandwagon, or at least most of your core customers are ;)

A lot of dev and nerd influencers are showing how to use eGPUs to boost the processing speed of large parameter models.

I have a pretty new machine that I got just last year.

id: sys76
product: Serval WS
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-14900HX
RAM: 64GiB
version: serw13
serial: 123456789

But I can tell you that trying to run larger parameter models is slow.

Even trying to play new games is slow, and gets a lot of lag.

I have no idea if I can add an Oculink port somewheres.

There is something that comes up related to "Thunderbolt" but no idea if it would take an eGPU:

usb
description: USB controller
product: Intel Corporation
vendor: Intel Corporation
bus info:
pci@0000:04:00.0
version: 00
width: 64 bits
clock: 33MHz
capabilities: pm msi pciexpress msix usb4_host_interface bus_master cap_list
configuration:
driver = thunderbolt
latency = 0

Thanks for considering
