I can't find its Official specs, only

    http://villman.com/Product-Detail/HP_Pavilion_15-ak032TX

HP does not supply mother board information for notebooks/laptops. HP only supply System board part # for your machine.

System board of your machine is ONE physical unit which contains

   (a) Motherboard,

   (b) CPU / Processor

   (c) dGPU if available

   (d) New Windows license.

Your machine does NOT have Thunderbolt port therefore eGPU is just your dream.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply, @Banhien. 😀

As I mentioned earlier,  I intended to connect the egpu using mini pcie port which as I understand, will use the wifi port.
I'm using LAN anyway, so its not an issue for me.

The only issue is to find out  how much the motherboard can take it.

I've just found out that the maximum memory speed support is 1600mhz and max capacity is 16gb.
So, it will be a waste of money if I tried to go for 1866mhz / 2133 mhz ram.
That why I optioned for Impact DDR3 1600mhz 8gb x2.

As for the egpu, some said that 1050 will be more suitable for noticeable performance.
Not to mention, I need external monitor and of course external power supply unit. 😀

Regards.
