Laptop with long battery life and compatible with eGPU

I'm in search of a laptop with a long battery life that is compatible with an eGPU.

The main usage for the laptop is browsing, youtube, and work (programming and light simulations) without access to power a lot of charging opportunities.

In my off-time, I like to do a bit of gaming but I thought as a gaming laptop and battery life usually don't fit together an eGPU would be a good option.

 

The current laptop I own is a Surface 2 which is not up to the task anymore for light work

and I'm out of the loop what is the current best value options for my application.

 

I'm currently used to a Ryzen 7 1800X, GTX1080 and 32GB RAM (which I don't usually need) in a desktop which would be replaced by the laptop.

I've looked at the:

  • Huawei MateBook X Pro
  • LG Gram 17
  • Lenovo Yoga Slim 7
  • HP Elitebook x360
  • HP Zbook 14u
  •  
What are your thoughts and recommendations on possible laptop choices?

Is a slim&light laptop with an eGPU enjoyable for gaming?
What kind of a laptop/eGPU would I need for steady 60FPS in recent FPS games? (e.g. Rainbow Six Siege)?

Its seriuosly packs a punch of 24 hr battery life but you would have to spend some couple bucks more in order to get this otherwise get the old versions.
