Hey, guys!
I am new to this forum, I have some questions before I buy a GPU for my laptop.
I am using Acer TravelMate P-245-M (Core i5-4200U w/ Intel HD 4400 and 4GB RAM). According to HWiNFO64, I have a free PCI slot. Please see Photo HERE. In addition, my laptop uses a mPCIe ( I am not totally sure), because it has AR5B22 for its WLAN and Bluetooth (the chip has mPCIe).
My question is:
1. From the photo, is it really a free slot of mPCIe? If yes, will V8.0 EXP GDC Laptop External Independent Video Card Dock run?
2. I am planning to put GTX 750Ti for this. What are your comments and suggestions for this?
3. How can I know if the free slot of mPCIe is for WWAN?
Note that my budget is limited to 100 - 200 usd. I am living in the Philippines.
Thank you in advance!
To do: Create my signature with system and expected eGPU configuration information to give context to my posts. I have no builds.

If your laptop is the same one, then the wifi card looks like it would be easy to replace with an eGPU cable.
Edit: Specifically, in the first video they show taking out the battery, HDD, then what looks to be the wifi card
