It's a decent laptop with 360 degree hinge, however since it's a budget laptop, the build quality will be not as good as other 2 in 1s

Can Connect this to an external gpu enclosure ????

 

Don't bother. You're better off just building a stand alone system with the price of external GPU enclosures what they are.

Since i live in india 

can u guys suggest me laptop under RS 80,000 

With thunderbolt 3 for a GPU enclosure? No.

 

Cheapest I could find was the Acer Aspire V15 Nitro for about 100,000.

 

You probably won't find thunderbolt 3 on any systems cheaper than that, and even at that price it's not really something you'd want to use because of other limitations.

 

What are you looking to do with this machine? Why do you even need eGPU support?

What kind of gaming?

 

If you're looking to play stuff like CS:GO or DOTA and don't mind playing on reduced settings, get something with a decent i5 and use the iGPU. You can get something fairly reasonably priced.

 

If you want to play some newer/higher end games, maybe pick up something with a GTX 940m like this: http://www.amazon.in/gp/aw/d/B014W990YQ/ref=mp_s_a_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1501434826&sr=1-7&pi=AC_SX118_SY170_FMwebp_QL65&dpPl=1&dpID=41wVCEUvOsL&ref=plSrch

 

If you're looking for something slim and portable to play the newest AAA games at full settings, then RIP. eGPUs have major performance issues over Thunderbolt 3 and the docks will be really pricy by themselves.

 

Even a Razer Blade Stealth, for one and a half times your budget, is going to struggle with a lot of newer stuff at decent resolutions with an eGPU, because of the CPU.

 

You'd be looking at a Dell XPS or Razer Blade Pro for like double your budget.

 

I recently looked at my options for this in Canada and my conclusion by the end of it was that it's still not particularly viable. It's something you do as an enthusiast thing to prove you can, not because it's in any way cost effective or practical.

Yes.

 

Considering they run just fine on a 840m in these videos, a 940m should handle them just fine. You may not be able to max things out, but they should run reliably at moderate settings.

 

As far as CS, a toaster could play it so you're fine :)

Yes. The 2GB has 2GB of RAM for the GPU and the 4GB has 4GB of RAM for the GPU.

 

The 4GB can store more geometry and textures in the Graphics Card's Ram, allowing you to run better with higher quality textures.

 

This ram is seperate from the 4, 6, 8, or 16GB that the computer has for normal memory.

 

An Intel iGPU will use 256-512MB of the normal system memory, for comparison, meaning even the 2GB model will handle high textures far better than integrated graphics.
