ROG G751JL Thunderbolt version and external GPU compatibility

[j_erick]

I've been looking all around and can't seem to find any confirmation regarding this, the ROG G751JL model = 2015 so I assume its thunderbolt 1. It's already 2017 and the GTX965m is not gonna cut it anymore for the upcoming releases . (pretty sure can't resell the laptop anymore cause the gpu is ancient and I'd rather buy an external gpu than buy a new one or build a PC) *I travel a lot but already accustomed to the weight*

What I want to know is :

Any of you guys had any success finding compatible external GPU enclosure and making it work for this model ?

The XG Station 2 for ROG that comes out soon is only compatible for Thunderbolt3 ready laptops so it's a bummer, and anyone remember that 2014-15ish enclosure that was never released publicly 

currently looking at this but it says Thunderbolt 2 ;
