I'm currently looking for a external GPU for my laptop with i5 4210m, what would be the best matching GPU for it without bottlenecking neither of them? Thanks

Then you are extremely lucky since mpcie compatibility is wierd to say the least. With a weaker cpu like the 4210m I would not go higher than a gtx950. I do not recommend you get a gtx1000 series since thos have major issues with mpcie usually.

Full laptop model please. If it doesn't have compatible ports (mini pcie not included as thats a major mixed bag of trouble) then don't do it.

It's HP Probook 640 g1 with i5 4210m, 8GB RAM and 120GB SSD. I have already plugged in Beast 8.0 to it via MPcie with a spare GTX 550Ti that I had laying around and it works perfectly fine and gets detected and utilized. Just looking for the best matching GPU without bottlenecking the CPU or GPU.
