    I have Dell Latitude E6400 with discrete nVidia NVS 160M video card. Anyone knows if this laptop's GPU is upgradeable?

    As wit most other laptops, the graphics chip is soldered onto the motherboard, and hence, an upgrade is not available.

    The Quadro 160M is still a pretty decent mobile graphics chipset, so I don't see what you'd 'upgrade' to anyways.
