regarding the pricy enclosures, there are vastly cheaper eGPU solutions especially if you're able to utilise the on-board M.2 or mini-PCI slot. if you don't move the laptop around, it's a viable option. this would be an example - not an endorsment. you'd need a $15 PSU to power the graphics and it works well in linux, with the hotpluggability being the primary issue; if you're willing to shutdown before attaching the eGPU, close to no issues.
you can run it as graphics card (i.e. utilize its display outputs) or just use the laptop's display with optionally switching between the onboard and discrete graphics.
The M40 doesn't have outputs :p
But that adapter looks nice! Thank you!
