Questions for the Alienware Graphics Ampifier (Don't know where else to put this)

I have an Alienware 13 laptop and I have been thinking of getting an Alienware Graphics Amplifier. My question is if I get this graphics card - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LW14DG7/ref=twister_B073CTNHTH?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 - can I run it? The required power supply is 400W and I know the amplifier is 375W. However it says 120W Power consumption.

 

(I don't know if I posted this twice but sorry if I did. I couldn't find my post and it said I had 0 posts on my profile)

Yes. The power supply recommendation on GPUs assumes that you are installing it into a system and therefore the power requirements consider other components. The AGA’s power supply is dedicated to the graphics card, so you only need to look at the graphics card’s consumption. The AGA accepts full-length, double-width GPUs thst consume up to 375W on their own. I don’t know of a single GPU on the market that would not fall within those specs.
