Would a computer shop be able to upgrade my laptops video card?

I'm considering buying a Toshiba e105 laptop. I want to have its graphics card upgraded after I purchase it. Would a computer shop be able to upgrade it for me? Is that possible?



Thanks!|||I would think not. Most laptops which come with graphics cards have special motherboards which have the graphics processor integrated into them. You might be able to increase the memory, or probably be able to change from, say and 7300 to a 7350 but I do not think you'd be able to change from a 7300 to a 9600.



There is also the problem with power supply - each laptop comes with a power supply that is just sufficient for what they've shipped it with. More powerful cards definitely need more power.|||yes|||No, since it's soldered into the motherboard, they probably won't. At best they might be able to get you a compatible motherboard with a better video card, that they can put in, but that involves replacing almost everything. It's unlikely that they'll even be able to do that, though...|||You're asking the wrong question. The question should be how much would it cost you to do it. The answer would be...around 500+ at that $$ you can buy a whole new computer with better specs than a lame Toshiba. Toshibas are as much waste of $$ as Macs, almost...Macs dominate the stupidity field. Get an Asus, or HP or Dell or Alienware or a real computer of that sort. Even MSI is good. If you have money get Lenovo or Rock.
