I don’t know if it’s possible but with the 16 having a changeable dedicated GPU. Can a dock that that keys into that and maybe one side of the module slots. Mainly so a dedicated desktop setup with the modularity of FW. IE the GPU module with dock cooling and dedicated power brick IE option to run two power bricks one for the laptop one for the GPU. The GPU still can be based on a design or branch it out for low power mobile and have some just for desktop but require to use the extras of the dock? It would allow better cooling and more power overhead at a stationary setting. Making it a desktop and laptop. Just seeing if it might come down the line or if anyone is looking into this already?
A desktop dock. Said dock can key in the GPU module or GPU modules that work only in the dock. Say the current one is limited because power and or cooling. Or even better the future GPU modules can have more overhead in the dock vs just in the laptop.
So a dock that could accommodate the current (or future) GPU? Like the dock has the expansion bay in it so you could upgrade the dock’s GPU or even use the upcoming double m.2 expansion bay.
My question is do you want it to attach to the FW16 via the expansion bay or by a cable like Thunderbolt?
The idea that pops in my head is one that slots to both. I don’t know how well the card buss is outside of short lengths. I am not thinking thunderbolt cable only. I’m more curious if its possible. The idea is to use the dock to enhance or unlock desktop performance for the laptop. IE more power overhead and cooling overhead that can stay on your desk. Pretty much what you would think a dock would do for a laptop. At least one can dream… It is probably more complicated than that in practice.
