I'm not good with computers, but I have an Acer Aspire E5-521 laptop and I'm thinking of connecting it with an external GPU through an adapter like an EXP GDC.
I want to know if my laptop is compatible. It has an AMD A6-6310 quad core CPU with Radeon R4 graphics. Also, how do I find out if my laptop has a PCI Express slot without having to open it and taking a look inside?

Thanks so much in advance.

since it is a laptop and i haven't found any results for a pci express slot. i would say the only on you have is where your WiFi/wan card is. you would lose WiFi for that boost in graphics. but assuming since it is a external graphics i would say you are sitting in one spot.
