    I was just wondering. I plan on buying myself a T61 but because of budget reason I can't get an addon for discreet graphics.

    If I get the laptop now, could I add the graphics card later on the road or it's as is?

    No, the graphics are built-in to the motherboard and can't be changed.

    Please read the Upgrading Mobile Graphics Cards thread(linked in pixelot's post. If you have any further questions, ask them in that thread.
