His English is very good, however, I do have a few corrections in regards to your English. "A English student" should be "An English student" if its a vowel you use an if it's a Consonant you use a. "mocking on" is incorrect syntax you would just use mocking as it is a transitive verb

Hi, I am wondering how you choose processors for your projects. Are you looking just for an better intel processor, or are you comparing with sockets?

[@TheSpotify95]

Not bad, this was a great test of the eGPU! Personally, I would not use the eGPU on this laptop, since the laptop only has a dual core processor, and also, it means losing the built in Wi-Fi. Yes, an external Wi-Fi adapter can be used (and will probably work faster too), however it reduces portability and increases the chance of the adapter being pulled/snagged in the USB port. I would also have kept the DVD drive. Back in 2019, SSD prices were high, but nowadays, you can get 960GB Kingston A400 for under £40, which is enough to not even bother with 2.5 HDD anymore.

[@ComputersAndTechAndAndrew]

If you mean on performances, there's no big impact, maybe few percents but i don't think so, in this case the external GPU is doing the job. But if i used Intel HD graphics like: 1366x768 vs 1920x1080 than the performance will drop for about 20-25% or maybe 30
