    No. GPU upgradeability is such a rare feature that if a laptop were GPU upgradeable, it would be advertised. By the way, any laptop that features Intel Integrated Graphics (as a primary GPU - Alienware's stealth mode doesn't count) is definitely not upgradeable.

    No, that graphics card is soldered directly to the motherboard, and it is integrated into a chipset, so it is impossible to upgrade the graphics.
    It is good you know now, cause many ask this question after buying the laptop ;)
