external GPU set-up requires five basic items: a laptop, a desktop graphics card, an external display, a PCIe adapter/board to house the card, and a separate power supply for the graphics card .
(maybe better just build a complete pc ? )
The question is what connections is available on your laptop . (ExpressCard , usb 3 , Thunderbolt 2.0 ... )
You can find some necessary components on this website : http://www.hwtools.net/eGPU.html
There is one eGPU setup via thunderbolt 2 , with build instructions and parts list : https://odd-one-out.serek.eu/thunderbolt-2-egpu-setup-using-akitio-thunder2/

Any Laptop with a GTX 1080 can do it but there are better options for less with a desktop.
Is GPU can't be installed internally?? Well its ok if i use gpu as externally .. Please suggest me the best for mining .. I will use a PC for this
I'm not really an altcoin miner, but you should be able to use an external GPU. Not sure if any of those would deliver decent hashrates tough...
I don't think it's possible to replace a laptop's GPU.
It's not recommended to mine altcoins with laptop. Laptops are generally more expensive than PC of the same spec and quick to break because of overuse/overheat. So your laptop is more likely to break before you can get enough profit to replace it.
