EGPU for vostro 14 3000
So I want to buy an EGPU for my laptop but I don't know if it's compatible with the common EGPU sockets on the market, how can I look at the compatibility? is there any EGPU or GPU that you would recommend? (bigger than 3gb)

These require either a Thunderbolt port your system doesn't have, or some sort of an internal M.2 adapter for which there is no space to route wires internally. That will render your notebook immobile, as you will not be able to close it up -- and they also require an external monitor. In return, you get a GPU that operates at a small fraction of its rated speed due to the low bandwidth of the notebook port.
You'd be better off spending whatever the eGPU costs on a desktop system -- which is what you'll end up with anyway.
