thanks|||The only brand I know which has been popular for having "changeable" graphics cards is Dell. To be more specific, only models with AXIOM or MXM cards can be upgraded. There may be other models that can be ugraded, but I wouldn't even think about risking it. Also, it's quite common that you can only upgrade a card with a "closely-related" card as well. Even then, there's a chance that it won't work.
I do not recommend that you upgrade a laptop video card, in fact I discourage it greatly. In some cases, the card may be soldered directly to the board, and in all cases the motherboard layout is designed to fit the specific card it came with. Obviously, when you mess with it, you void your laptop warranty as well.
