Is it possible to upgrade your laptop graphics card?

best gaming laptops dell image

I got a laptop just recently, but I had no knowledge of graphics cards and games and all that. I want to be able to play games on my laptop (dell inspirion 1420) but the graphics card is c**p. Is it possible to upgrade to a better graphics card. Is it too late. I got my laptop from best buy.

Answer
You most likely have Intel integrated graphics (probably the X3100) which is part of the northbridge of the i945GM chipset.

It is soldered onto the motherboard and there isn't a slot to put a better graphics chip in.

The only way you'll be able to upgrade the graphics is to buy a new laptop.

Which company is the best for buying a gaming laptop?

I am looking to buy a mid-range gaming laptop.

Alienware was good years go. Since Dell bought them, they are now shit. So, I was looking to go elsewhere. Xotic seemed to have reasonable prices though I have never heard of them before.

Opinions? Ideas?

Answer
Before jumping in and making a purchase I highly recommend you check out this laptop reviews :) I picked out some which I think are true value for money yet still offering high performance.
