it's a laptop with integrated graphics. no upgrade available. as a matter of fact, no laptop can upgrade a graphics card unless you are on a laptop worth several thousand dollars. what you *can* do is uninstall all the bloatware, streamline the msconfig to load only a few things, update the AMD drivers, and turn off Aero windows graphics to speed it up. I'm debating upgrading the ram to a faster ram and 8GB, but not sure it makes much difference. An overclocked ram set of 8GB would make the most difference. 8GB limit on this machine. For better graphics, look for an A8 or A10 AMD chip with a 7000G series APU or preferable dedicated GPU.

This is a deaktop graphics card. Laptops have their gpu integrated. You can only change ram and hard drives on a laptop. Most new computers have everything together and dont allow for any modifications.

With the appropriate patches and updates, I really don't see why this processor couldn't handle it. It's more about the graphics card you're using.

Probably not. The graphics card is a built-in part of the motherboard and there are no PCI or any other kind of slots on the motherboard to add cards to the motherboard on this laptop. I am betting that no laptop will let you add any graphics cards to any of them either.

No, you can not. This is a big size card for desktops. It was not designed for laptops

You can't. Laptops are incredibly hard to upgrade. If you want something you can upgrade, then get a desktop. Laptop is meant for portability.

No you cannot. It is very rare to find any laptop that can be upgraded in terms of processor and/or graphics card. Only desktops have that privilege.

Laptops aren't known for being very upgradable or expandable (except for an expansion slot on some or swapping RAM). Replacing a processor is not a simple task, even if you find a compatible one. And even then you're wasting your money (spend it instead on a different laptop). Integrated graphics would be part of the motherboard, not sure if there's an expansion slot for another graphics card but if you want something for gaming, don't get this laptop. Spend your graphics and CPU money towards a higher end laptop.

Hello L. RobinsonBase on your question. I truly cannot answer it because; you have not provided enough information about your laptop, e.g. model or a given scenario on how you going to apply this device e.g. docking station or port replicator, if applicable. Second, upgrading a video card on a laptop is unlikely or unheard of to my knowledge; based on your question. Finally, this product, which you are inquiring about gets connected to a USB port and not a VGA port; based on your question.

This card is likely bigger than your laptop! Usually it is not possible to replace or upgrade the graphics card or chipset on a laptop of any age.

I don't think this can be done. But it does have an amazing graphics card built in! :D

No you cannot. All laptop manufacturers have been built this way since the beginning. Laptops are built whwre everything basic is on the system board. All you can hardware upgrade is HDD, ODD, Ram. Whatever video you got with the Laptop is permanent. Nvidia, ATI, Intel built graphics. I prefer Nvidia.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX670MX is pretty good. It plays most high end games but some of them you have to turn down to medium. The next faster MSI computer graphics card is about 300.oo more. If you got the cash get the fastest card you can.Dale

This card is for a desktop PC. It is not designed to be installed in a laptop. If you even have to ask this question you should not be attempting to upgrade your laptops video yourself. Take it to a professional. Most laptops are not able to have their video systems upgraded anyway.

Yes- we recommend we upgrade the card for you. We could add a 3.2 Ghz CPU, and the ATI Radeon 5870 for a combined charge of $200.00. Let us know if interested. Otherwise, these are very easily upgradeable. Thanks!
