    Most laptops, especially consumer grade, have soldered graphics, and don't use the MXM standard. Unless there was another model with a higher end graphics, you might be able to upgrade the motherboard, but it wouldn't be worth the money.

    Personally, it would be wiser to upgrade to an actual gaming laptop, like the MSI G series, Clevo rebrand, or Alienware.
