    Hello,

    I am new to laptop and i just read about laptops install external graphics card to boost gaming performance. Is it possible to do this with my laptop?

    I have researched a bit and found that i need a express card slot to make it work. Does my laptop have this express card slot at all? If so where is it located?

    Thank you.

    Thank you Nando4.

    I have searched and I came across this PM3N kit, can you advise me if this is all i need to hook up a eGPU on to the laptop. Of course i would still need a power supply to power the GPU and probably need software to run it.

    PE4L ( PCIe passive adapter ver1.5 )

    Or is it suppose to be this kit?

    PE4H (PCIe passive adapter ver2.4)
