Yeah there's nothing on the underside of the laptop...I'm guessing it might be too difficult!

Ok, once again, it's not 100% (might end up having several setbacks, but hardware wise, seems it's possible..)

so what You need to do =) firstly, get something like usb WiFi module 'cos after this You don't have wifi anymore =) choose acording to Your needs & budget.

Then You (or some friend that likes to tear things apart) would have to open Your laptop..

then, You would have to remove this wifi module:

then You would have at least few options, but in the market all of those are very similar =) here's one I'd go for (posted before =)

just take middle option with this mPCIe adapter:

& it seems slightly older model is working working..- googled out a little bit:
it's working.jpg
well, not for games or powering internal screen, but as long as You need it for cuda only it should be ok..- keep in mind, that this is not 100% guarantee! but..You can try to get, plug it in, test on Your case -as every situation is slightly different & then even if You don't get it working You can sell it out. Forums are full of comments - hundreds of pages,..it's simply cheaper to get & try then read every single post out there..

so, that's it - case closed.. =) more or less,
need to pull a trigger or skip this.. =)

p.s. I didn't mention, that if You wish to lug Your laptop & would like the bottom part - You will need to slightly mod it =) make some sort of an open area to plug this mPCIe when You need it =) - but do the mod only when You're sure that it's working =)

other thing I didn't mention in the last post is that You need PSU that would be enough to feed Your chosen GPU =)

I'm going to order few cables from that company now to test things out..on other devices =) so I can share some findings, but probably next week.. if parts will be delivered on time =)
