I have an HP Elite Book 2560p and I'm checking if adding an external PCI e 16 slot is possible.

Don't purchase the one from hwtools, those are too expensive unless you're willing to pay $120 instead of just $30 for an adapter. It seems you already have expresscard, which would be the simplest option. Just keep in mind you'll receive around 60% of the card's actual performance due to bandwidth limitations. I assume you're aware of the other requirements for an egpu.

My view is that using external GPUs isn't a good choice. If you require a superior GPU or a strong one, a desktop is always preferable, or you might simply forget to purchase a new laptop.

Zack Fowler believes external GPUs are not a good choice. For better or more powerful performance, a desktop is preferable, or you could simply opt for a new laptop.

I'm familiar with the bottleneck issue and just need to be able to play CSGO while on vacation, since I'm part of a semi-pro team. If you could share a link would be great.

You're thinking about bringing a large PSU/GPU along with an external screen for use on vacation. It doesn't seem practical if you value portability. Even a budget laptop can handle CSGO smoothly with decent frame rates. The high-end model costs $30 but requires removing the bottom cover. The most affordable one I found was listed at $50 for ExpressCard.

Are you planning to carry a large power supply and external display for use on vacation? It doesn't seem practical if you need portability. Even a basic laptop can run CS GO smoothly today. The higher-end version costs $30 but requires removing the bottom cover. The most affordable I found was here for $50 with ExpressCard. http://www.gearbest.com/laptop-accessori...29102.html
