Yes, but why wouldn't it? That's a hardware layer.

If you're asking something deeper, like "What would happen if the eGPU were not connected?" - that's a whole other discussion.

I plan to get a legion go s z1 e and use an egpu with a razor X core v2 and 9060XT. When I'm at home I will dock the device and when I'm on the move I will use the igpu. Will that be okay?

Certainly. The eGPU performance will be limited by USB4 (40Gbps) vs. TB5 (80Gbps), but you probably already knew that.
