How exactly do you know if you can add a graphics card to a notebook / laptop? ?

Question

Is it easy to install a graphics card to a notebook / laptop?

Answer 1

Ahh, you can't. Not with modern laptops and graphics cards at least.

Graphics chips on laptops come built into the laptop motherboard with their own specially designed for the laptop cooling schemes.

No, not easy, impossible.

Answer 2

Express/pci card slot. the tiny wide rectangle slot usually on the left but either way. And... they are VERY rare and if you even got one were looking at 2000 dollars lol! And your computer probably wouldn't even support it and same for most at the moment. When plugNplay power-house devices start becoming more interchangeable and efficient for notebooks then you might see the light but for now... nuh uh. :( I want one too.

Answer 3

the guy at circuit city today said that it was sautered onto the motherboard and that i would have to get a new motherboard.
