    I know the FAQ states eGPU isnt avail for us cause we dont have a expresscard slot.
    But now there are options for eGPUs via mPCIe slots.

    PE4H ( PCIe passive adapter ver2.4 )
    Scroll down and have a look at the PE4H-PM3N-060B combo.

    Now im just wondering if we should be able to plug that into the 3G module slot since thats a mPCIe interface as well.
    My next question is if we have 3GB/s of bandwith on that sucker too.

    Usually modules like that are actually electrically USB but if someone has tested that specific port then it can work but you may be better off upgrading the internal GPU.
