hiwith so many great games comming out lately, ive been thinking of upgrading my laptops videocard. from what i have read around the forum, it is possible if you have an external card. Hd5650 is an external card isnt it..?
If it is possible, which card would bee a suitable replacement..?

Commander Wolf can i haz broadwell?
The GPU is soldered to the motherboard. You cannot replace it without replacing the motherboard. Even then, I do not believe there is an N5010 motherboard with a faster GPU.
tl;dr you cannot upgrade the GPU on this laptop. -
It's dedicated, but not external. You're out of luck.

Tsunade_Hime such bacon. wow
As stated, the 5650/550V is soldered onto the motherboard. The only other boards are Intel HD graphics and Radeon Mobility 5450 (lower than your 5650). N5010 also does not have ExpressCard so your only option for external graphics is mini PCI-E.
Upgrade video card (HD5650) dell inspiron 15r n5010
