I'm planning to buy a company owned laptop from them. It's an HP Elitebook 8460W - CNU2121NVS. It currently has an AMD FireProT M3900 1 GB graphics card. What I want to know is it this laptop can be upgraded with a newer graphics card. Like a GTX970M or greater. I don't know much about graphics card, so if you know then that would be great. Here is a link on amazon.

Open it up and look at the motherboard, if the video card is in a slot, you can change it, maybe. Really depends on the BIOS and motherboard even if you can physically remove the video card. That is a business class system with a pretty good pro level video card. If you want a system for gaming, don't buy this or just live with the video speed it has. It's a good laptop overall, quad core i7 CPU, good video card (just not for gaming). For gaming, that video card is maybe 60% of the speed of a low end gaming laptop chip like the 940M or 940MX.
