    This notebook has an integrated graphics card (Nvidia G102m)
    I was wondering whether it would be possible not to replace the car but to add a new dedicated graphics card. Does this notebook have some sort of free slot where I can insert it to? What cards will fit in it?
    Note: As you can see I am a total newbie to hardware upgrades so bear with me , thanks :) .

    but it defeats the purpose of the notebook.. if u do so , might as well sell notebook and get desktop as for the Vidock u need an external monitor and bulky box to carry GPU.. get a new laptop..

    Not if you want both the convenience of gaming at home and taking your laptop out with you for other basic tasks..
