Don't think so, but only way to be really sure is to open the case, but, having tried that myself once and screwing up the keyboard, it ain't easy. Normally spoken you can't change the gpu on a laptop, only on pretty expensive ones. Maybe ask a local pc shop to have a look at it. Maybe it costs you like 5 buck but you'll be sure it stays intact.

No you can't change a GPU in a laptop for really one reason alone. In a laptop EVERYTHING but really the RAM and HDD is build into the motherboard and to change one part of it, such as the GPU, you would have to basically change everything. This would basically mean buying a new laptop. Best thing to do though is get up maybe at least 400-500 bucks and you could get yourself a pretty nice PC if you look at the 500 bucks gaming PC Tom's Hardware did.
