[SOLVED] SSD or EGPU?

[Apocaze]

I have a free m.2 slot.should I hack it and put a gpu in there, or save it for and ssd?

First if the M.2 slot is SATA a eGPU will not work on it.

Secondly it all depends on what you want to use the laptop for. If you want to use it for gaming then a graphics card will be more of a performance boost then a SSD.

How to distinguish between them?

What computer do you have? Make and model.

I have a Dell AIO 7440 System
I wouldn't mind if a egpu is sticking out of the case too
cuz my desktop have a very weak gpu

From what I can find your computer has a SATA M.2, so you cannot use it for a eGPU sorry.

The only other option would be to remove your wifi card, assuming it uses a mini pcie express wifi card. This option is fairly popular for laptops and there are adapters out there for this. But to my understand this can be very finicky about working. Youll have to look that up yourself.

So, as I have said,I wouldn't mind a GPU sticking out of my pc.can i use a riser adapter for it?
so I could both have my wifi and GPU?

and comes the GPU
Can I have a 1660 TI in it?
will my 200w psu have a low profile one?

Again I would check to see if you can remove the wifi card and use the mini pci express slot of that, then buy an adapter (which will have to run outside the computer.

As far as your power supply, it doesn't matter because all eGPUs require there own power supplies since they sit outside the computer.

I can remove the WIFI card,but i need wireless connection too.so can i add a extender riser for gpu and wifi card.is that possible?
