You really cant add a graphics card do a laptop by yourself. You might be able to but i have no idea how to do it. From what i know you would have to upgrade the computer to upgrade the graphics. If you are gaming, i would suggest building your own computer. For the same price of that laptop, you can get better performance.

Graphics cards are embedded into the motherboard, so you wouldn't be able to change it without changing the motherboard. There might be an available pci-e slot, but it could be x1 for something like a wifi card rather than x16 for a graphics card, not sure if laptop graphics cards are x16, though
