I use my laptop for music production and it requires a lot of CPU, It will be so amazing if it's possible to buy an external CPU and plugin to your laptop to boost performance, But there is no where I can find that. It will be great if you make a video maybe to show a way to do it, Thanks.

If you have another machine and can manage it remotely, that works. However, simply attaching a CPU using a method similar to how GPUs connect via Thunderbolt isn't feasible.

And I just have one more laptop, no desktops and only a USB A port.

I can't confirm with certainty that an external CPU doesn't exist, Christian. It seems very improbable and unusual. While external graphics cards are available, I'm not very confident about an external CPU. The safest choice would be to upgrade your laptop or install a CPU, man.

Choose a mid-range i7 8750h laptop. They’re really affordable. Walmart sold them off last fall for around $550 to $600, which means they’re now widely available and you might find one for $400 to $500.
