The Alienware 13 is an interesting gaming laptop that features an optional accessory called the Graphics Amplifier. The Amplifier is a box that houses a standard desktop GPU and power supply, which attaches to the Alienware 13 through a cable. When it's plugged in, the mobile GPU in the laptop is disabled, and all the GPU power comes from the Amplifier.
