Dell Inspiron 15 5565 - Is it possible to adapt a video card? What kind?
Hi there,
I have a new laptop Dell Inspiron 15-5565, and I want to know if it is possible to adapt an external video card (like ATI or Nvidia) for gaming.
If it is possible, then what kind of video card do you recommend me.
Thanks a lot!

Laptops are usually dedicated to the video cards they came with unless they are discrete and had another option.

That would require a thunderbolt port this model doesn't have -- so the answer is no.

Or if this has a mini pcie port on the inside you could use that...I am trying to figure out a eGPU is well and was wondering if this has one.

Even if you sacrifice the wifi card -- which is the only PCIe/M.2 slot the system has - you will wind up leaving the system in pieces to install an eGPU interposer -- there's nowhere to route the cables out to the eGPU while closing up the system. So -- you will essentially turn your notebook into a desktop.
if you need the added power of a new GPU, just buy a desktop system to go with your notebook - it'll be far simpler (and far less limiting).
