Its got a mini-pcie slot which is currently being used for wireless. 

 

Here's the manual:

The only way to run an eGPU would be to remove the bottom cover, and connect the eGPU dongle thing in place of the wireless card. See p. 42.

There is no thunderbolt card available to connect to this port. You could not crossfire the APU in the laptop and the eGPU. You would have video output only from the eGPU on an external monitor. 

 

I do not recommend you do this to your laptop. If you want to run an eGPU the best thing is to get a laptop with a built in USB-C/Thunderbolt port.
