There's also that MSI that Linus reviewed that uses an eGPU.

Zbook Studio for $550? Where do you even get this? Yea, if its the same Zbook Studio I'm thinking that's is one hell of a deal.

well assuming its the g3 version, aim for a quad core i7. Any of them is fine as they all perform within each other. I would say as far as don't go for Xeon because you would have to get ECC memory. Generally this class of workstation doesn't exactly play nice without the right drivers and eGPU drivers are very immature. i7-6820HQ would be best. Display doesn't really matter. If you're doing color accurate work go for their Dreamcolor displays which as BLESSED. If not the 1080p screen is also very good. Unfortunately the studio only has a M1000M so meh. You'll have this disabled when you eGPU anyways. Upgrade the ram sodimms with some hyperx ones. Storage is self explanatory. This would rack you up close to 4k usd over in NA. Where do you live? LOL I'm going to go vacation there and buy hella gear.

Any laptop with USB-C TB3 will work. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12G1VTFWkTL5tb8nxUAtnDHwTLyya9I3Vw-OXXrIN4e4/edit

Take a look at this doc for all available tb3 laptops. You also never really mentioned what your workload was so I'm not exactly sure what to recommend you.
