External GPUs are not a solution at all. Possibly a laptop with a Thunderbolt 3/USB-C port can use external graphics but for older hardware the only way to attach the eGPU is through the PCI-e slot which is where the wireless is connected. There is no workable way to open your laptop and install such a device. And even if you could the pci-e slot is 1x and that is not enough bandwidth to properly operate gaming video.

 

So it is a bitter pill to swallow but if you want to game on a laptop you have to buy a gaming laptop.
