Should I buy a cheaper laptop with an i7 and an eGPU then attach it to the eGPU for gaming
or
A gaming laptop that costs much more?
Use it for video editing but also to play games fluently. And with the eGPU, it's more pleasant when I'm gone that I have a light and thin laptop than a heavy, noisy gaming laptop.
Do laptops with an eGPU have the same performance as a gaming laptop with the same GPU?
Why buy a gaming laptop?
If money does not matter, then something like a Razer Blade, which is thin, light and powerful, a 144Hz screen (or 4k 60Hz, which is not worthwhile), good keyboard, etc.
But also costs accordingly

Not one of them.
Buy a desktop PC and it's good.
Laptops in your requirement already cost a whole lot of money and these can't be upgraded in contrast to the PC.
In addition, you will not get a cheap laptop with i7, certainly not with Thunderbolt 3 to use an EGPU.
I would use the Latitude 14 Rugged Extreme
