That is a low end laptop, why are you trying to spend the money it cost to buy the full laptop on a video card for it? Does it even have a thunderbolt port?
You may be able to add an external video card to it by using an internal mini PCIe card adapter but why? The CPU will hold back any card worth spending money on, and you will have a cable sticking out of the laptop with the adapter unless you take it apart and out everytime you move the laptop.
Sell the laptop and get one suited for what you want to do with it.

That laptop has a slow CPU, and the external card, power supply and dock will cost about $200. Not worth messing around with it, but if you want, open it up and see if there is a free mini PCIe slot available then you can try using a mini PICe to PCIe 16x adapter, get a video card and a power supply for it and see if it will work.
