Generally no

3. Can I upgrade the video card in my laptop?
Generally speaking,no.
it is not possible due to the platform design of the majority of consumer lapto
p
motherboards. That
means you are generally stuck with the video chip integrated
into your notebook's motherboard chip
-
set. So that means that most laptops do
not have a video card.
There are a few notable exceptions in the premium notebook price range.
Some laptops that use
Mobile PCI module (MXM) for a video output solution do
allow that flexibility. Technically adept super
users have the ability and
knowledge to take advantage of it. Some MXM Type II or higher modules are
upgradeable. MXM is an open
standard for laptop graphics that was developed by
NVIDIA. ATI was
acquired by AMD a few years ago. ATI brand Radeon MXM modules
are available.
Affordable external Gaming graphics solutions are still a mythical beast. There have been demos of the
XG statio
n as far back as 2008 at CES. ASUS XG station seems to have vanished into thin air.

Very, very few laptops lines have changeable graphics.
HP's are not on that list.
