HP Spectre x360 13.5 inch 2-in-1 Laptop PC 14-ef2000 (771X4AV)

Hello everyone,

I have an HP Spectre with the following configuration:

  • Product Number: 7Q878EA#ABF
  • Serial Number: [personal info removed]
  • Processor: Intel Core i7
  • RAM: 32 GB
  • Storage: 2 TB SSD
  • Operating System: Windows 11
  • Available Ports:
    • USB-C
    • USB-A

I am primarily engaged in bioinformatics work, specifically for running molecular dynamics simulations. To improve my laptop's performance for these compute-intensive tasks, I am considering adding an eGPU.

I am seeking recommendations for the best eGPU enclosures compatible with my setup, as well as graphics cards that would provide a good balance of computational power and stability for complex simulations in bioinformatics.

Thank you in advance for your advice and recommendations.

Best regards,
