Does the inspiron 7577 support external gpu usage
I am aware that the latest version of the inspiron 15 has a usb-c port which is thunderbolt 3 capable. Can I hook up an external gpu to this? I am looking to buy this laptop if it can. If it does support the usage of an external gpu, does the thunderbolt 3 port have 2 PCIe lanes or 4?

The document says what it doesn’t support. And I don’t see GPU in this. So it means it is allowed?
Yes, it does support Thunderbolt 3 compatible external GPUs.
The Inspiron 15 7577 Gaming Series system supports standard Thunderbolt 3
protocol/features on external graphic docks. However, performance has not been
validated in many third-party Thunderbolt 3 eGfx docks and so users may
experience certain unexpected compatibility issuesThey are basically telling you to buy a Dell or Alienware external graphics dock or you're going to have problems, but the support for external GPU is built in.
