Firstly you have to make ready your graphic card working properly because out put will be supplied via USB. For such types of external graphic cards it need external power supply which will be provided by SMPS. Required power supply will be delivered by SMPS to graphic card.

Also you will need PCI slot for Graphics Card.

Check YouTube for "Mini pcie 16x"...

Using an adaptor you can add a 16x slot through a wifi/wwan mini PCIE slot...
Still need an external power supply for the video card.

it is possible to conenct up to 3  videocards on a laptop using a minipci express to 3x pcie expressa adapter ... of rcouse you will need external psu as well...

actually it seems there is a rx 480M (not sure if you can really upgrade gpu's in laptops though).
but in all, it is a bad idea because laptop cooling isn't dimensionned for mining (or high gpu load calculation)

ps: actually there are also some sort of GPU NAS (from asus (as well as Apple) I think), where you can plug an external gpu through thunderbolt connection (whatever it is) but it is quite pricey...

Hey .. i have a 2gb ram laptop and 500gb of storage and other features of traditional or old laptops. I have been using it for years. I am going to buy AMD rx 480 of 8 gb variant also some other 4gb GPU for the purpose of mining altcoin .. would i face any problem when i mine GPU and CPU based altcoins?? Or my laptop won't support the GPU due to low RAM??? Please suggest me some ideas in this regard. 

Thank you Cheesy
