    I have an old l aptop hp dv4 with the following specs:
    • Intelcore i5-2410M 2.3GHZ
    • 8GB oframDDR3


    I have a eVGA Geforce GTX 750 TI FTW Edition which I am not using as my desktop "gaming" pc broke.

    I was wondering if it is worth the cost using a eGPU solution for my laptop? how will be performance with these specs.

    Another annoying aspect to consider is that my mini pcie is found under my keyboard(it's according the manual.... I have not opened it yet to verify if it is really a mini pcie hosting my wifi card).

    And my laptop has switchable graphics... not sure if this affects compatibility?
