eGPU advice

I recently purchased an Inspiron 7359. It's a neat little machine, but I was wondering if I could improve it's graphics performance with an eGPU. It lacks both Thunderbolt and Express Card so that leaves only m.2. It doesn't advertise M.2 but my wireless card is an Intel 3165 which uses M.2 2230. I was wondering if I could pop out the wireless card and use that slot to connect an eGPU.

 

Thoughts? suggestions? Experiences? I'll take any help I can get.

I think you'd want mini PCIe, not technically M.2...

 

I've never heard of an eGPU working with M.2.

Honestly thunderbolt is the only reliable egpu method. Even expresscard can be flaky.

 

The mini pci adapters most of the time either just dont work or need an unlocked bios to work.
