You need to have an express slot or open the laptop to install an adapter in a pci-e slot IF you have one. Many times, the wireless card may occupy the ONLY slot you have access to.

Please also note that these systems are bandwidth limited(X1 vs X16/X8 on desktop PCs), so faster cards will not work as well because they will not get data fast enough.

In the first image, The user must be running Virtu or similar to use the dedicated card on the notebook screen.

People have done it.
DIY eGPU

Is it a PITA? Yes.
Does it negate the benefits of a laptop (mobility)? Yes.

Given the proper laptop with the right ports, it might work. But having a laptop good enough to do it is already expensive.

1. Sell the expensive laptop.
2. Buy a cheap laptop if you need a mobile platform
3. Build a good gaming desktop.

A laptop with an external card grafted in is essentially a gimped desktop. i.e. non-mobile and less power than a similar cost desktop.

If it was not for needing the laptop for work, I would have said go with an SFF(small form factor) desktop.

A 7870 will work, but I think the bandwidth cut would harm performance a good bit.

I just hope you can find the right balance. A good work PC(light with long battery run time) and still be able to game(decent cpu and express slot if you go that route.) with it.
