    Quick answer, no.

    It's rare to find a notebook that has an upgradable GPU (a few out there, but mainly high-end specialty notebooks). When buying a notebook, this should always be considered before buying. Alsoways get more that you currently need, this way you're not stuck with out-of-date technology after 6 months to 1 year.

    Also, since your notebook has an integrated video card with shared video memory, it's even less likely capable of being upgraded. Since the video chip is integrated into the systemboard (non-removable), there would be no way to swap. Sorry. [ :(]
