Re: graphics card question
i seriously doubt it.there are very few laptops that can do that,and they are very expensive.i dont think hp has ever had a model with interchangable video cards.

Re: graphics card question
it uses shared ram so that indicates it does not have a video card only a chip and you are stuck with what you have

Re: graphics card question
Only if it uses the MXM Interface can you swap it. Unfortunately that laptop has a proprietary interface for the graphics cards. MXM isn't too common.
