    Toshiba Satellite A215-S7437's graphics card is integrated. I am wondering if this card can be replaced by a more powerful Performance Graphics Card like like ATI Mobility Radeon X1450?

    nope. integrated mean it's integrated and there is no expansion slot or slot for that matter to put in another graphics card.

    Nope. Only a few $4K-6K laptops have the ability to upgrade graphics cards.

    This statement isn't necessarily correct; some mainstream laptops (Dells, some Clevos and laptops with an MXM slot) can be upgraded.

    To the OP, you can't upgrade that GPU. It's an IGP, therefore it's on the motherboard and can't be replaced.

    and the upgrade options are slim. usually they're limited to what was available as upgrade when you CTO your laptop.
