    Hi everyone,
    ppl, I will build a statue for you if anyone can advise experience with similar laptop.
    I am testing over a week all options in connecting eGPU Beast by miniPCIe instead of wifi module. With help of egpu guru - nando4 - we tried some options but getting stuck in the beginning - my eGPU could not be detected in device manager...
    - testing NVidia GTX745 with ATX power supply 300W, tested also with "paperclip trick"

    To be sure if it's not HW issue, I tested it on Dell E6530 in wifi port and it worked smoothly.

    This leads me to, that issue must be in my laptop - BIOS (latest A16) or wifi port or something else... I thought also about my 3d screen, this laptop because of it, doesn't show integrated Intel HD 4000 graphics, only dGPU Nvidia 650M. No optimus.

    In wifi port I tried also different wifi modules, also were found immediately.
    Could BPlus products like PE4L or PE4C work ? I will post any HW details required.

    1000x thank you for any advise here. Thank you

    Hi Mirnyx,

    I have one Dell 17R SE 7720 with integrated Intel HD 4000 graphics, Nvidia 650M,
    I'm want to purchase the eGPU set but I found your post,

    Did you get it??
    Did you try to use one External Display conected on the graphics card?
