how do you plan on instaling a GPU into a laptop?

most laptop Graphics cards upgrades are made preventible.

If you already have a separate GPU, then it may be soldered to motherboard already making an upgrade preventible.

Heat is a huge factor, ventilation/space makes it very hot inside the refined laptop conditions.

The battery in your laptop will suffer greatly with a graphics card connected, if no card installed already, powering a new card will drain it super fast, leading to a mass shortening in it's life and efficiency.

As a whole, it may work and it may not, with al the issues you may face, i would highly avoid upgrading.

You can't fit a full size PCI card into a laptop...So you're stuck with whatever GPU your i3 has inside it (Intel® HD Graphics according to Intel's site).

Basically you can't upgrade a Laptop's graphics card as it doesn't have space for it, and any dedicated GPUs like the 650M, 750M, etc are soldered onto the motherboard, you *Could* unsolder them but that would be a rather difficult task, and not every laptop has a dedicated GPU, most have integrated, so if your Laptop doesn't have a dedicated GPU from when you bought it, you're stuck in the water.

TL;DR Get a desktop if you want to upgrade your GPU.

on a PC you plug in all the parts into a Mainboard, you can therefore swap them out and upgrade
on a laptop everything is on the motherboard, its all one PCB/one part so no upgrading
-the only thing you can realy upgrade on a laptop is the HDD or SSD

It means it is not part of the CPU. You probably still can't change it, though.

What specific model do you have?

You're stuck with it the way it is. There are only a very few laptops with changeable graphics systems, and that ain't one of them.

agreed, and if it even were possible, would the other factors be worth it, no.
