Beast of a Laptop- Can I use this?


Recommended Posts

So I have a great laptop (MSI TITAN 008-SLI) and I have it fully decked out as I do pentesting and lots of virtualization. I have for months if not a year now been trying to get VMware to do something like this, but there is a issue that you might be able to solve. I do have questions on how would it support the dual video cards that are already in the laptop and the weird switching they have built into the laptop. How would this handle when I would put the laptop to sleep? Or the fact that I could tell the unRAID to use the internal videocard but when I fire up any VM would they just take over that video card or one of the other two? And could have I have many VMs running and just switch them as I want?

 

I really hope I am just being lazy and you have all these answers and they are easy to just say for me to read a post already done. I will also tell you I do have 4 m.2 ssd's and a 1TB 5200rpm drives with 32GB of DDRLP4 RAM. If there are any other specs please let me know.

While I am grateful for the quick response, could you maybe give an idea of what would run something like I want. I would love one of those older motherboards that had the quick boot chipset that was on there, that I could get to just run VMware player or something like that then just install ESXi but that is not an option.
