Here is something you should read before you think about trying to upgrade a video card for a laptop.
A commonly asked question we get is how to upgrade laptop video cards. If the card is dedicated, or not integrated, an upgrade is possible. Video card upgrades are a great idea for gamers and graphic designers. A dedicated video card also has it's own on board memory, so it does not draw from the computer's memory, adding additional performance.

So the question you should be asking your self first is make sure you are able to upgrade to a better video card, so make sure the video card that is in your laptop is not integrated if it is you will not be to up grade, the other option i been told about being able upgrade to a better video card would be to buy a stand alone video card for a laptop but your talking alot of money as of right now the external video card by Asus from what i seen and read are not out on the market let..

Check out this link about the new Asus external video card.

I hope this help you out,...

If it was me it would not be even worth the upgrade to a better video card as it would probably would cost you more then what you paid for the whole laptop just my $0.02 worth.
