Product: HP EliteBook X G1a
Operating System: Ubuntu LTS

Hello! I'm looking at purchasing the HP EliteBook X G1a (the AMD Ryzen HX 375, Radeon 890M variant). Does this laptop support external GPUs? I read though as many spec documents as I could find but couldn't find any explicit mention of support for external GPUs. I'm looking at buying a curved monitor with WQHD resolution (5120 x 1440) and I'm worried that the integrated graphics will really struggle with that large of a screen (or may not support it at all). Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!!

Its specs shows it has 2 Thunderbolt™ 4 with USB Type-C ports. You should be able to run Thunderbolt eGPU from one of those ports.

 

Regards.

Yes, the physical hardware support is indeed present, but HP could have chosen not to implement or enable GPU support by restricting that functionality at the firmware level (based on what I've read it's commonplace for manufacturers to restrict eGPU support for business-class machines). I was hoping to get explicit confirmation either way. Thanks for the reply, though!
