Research about egpus
Hello everyone i have a dell precision 3551
It have amazing specs, cor i7 gen 10 , 32 Ram
And good storage but the gpu sucks,
I was wondering if i can get a egpu for my laptop and was wondering if it need an external power supply + i was looking for any advice on what to do

you can buy a egpu but it's not that much better than just buying a whole pc
like you can probably find a used gaming pc off of ebay that would be easier to work with and upgrade
I've used eGPUs before, i can't recommend them if you can get away with it
you do need an external power supply, but thatll be built into the eGPU dock, at least for me when i was using an egpu, it had its own power cable and plugged into a usbc port
What gpu did you use? And how much it costed?
i have a rtx2060 12 gb that i bought for around $450, i used it in a razer egpu thunderbolt i bought for $400
in hindsight though i really wish i had just spent the $400 on the rest of the PC, i ended up buying the rest of the PC parts for around $500-$550 and i still use it now
