Does anyone know a good "budget" Laptop + eGPU combo?

The title says it all... I really want a good laptop that has decent battery life + decent display and is fairly portable and the same time I really want to game, but the options available on the market right now go way over the budget I have (1100 dollars)

 

So I thought of 2 possible ways to solve this:

-buying a tablet (like the Surface Go or the Ipad) and it's keyboard, together with a gaming PC

-buying a good laptop and an eGPU, so I can plug it whenever I want to play

 

The first way is going a little over my budget, so I'm trying to figure out options for the second way... can anyone help?

It souds like a cool combo, but it's over my budget, because the Aorus Gaming Box has a GTX 1080/1070, and that's way too much for me. Do you know a eGPU that has a 1050 Ti or a 1060?

If you have a look on Amazon, the Yoga 730 13" goes for around $720 and the Aorus Gaming box also comes with an RX 580 version for $420. I understand this is a bit over budget, but I haven't found any laptop that is cheaper with a thunderbolt 3 port.
