Installing a new graphics card on a laptop

[Sam577]

Hi,

It is possible to upgrade a graphics card in the Dell Latitude D620.

I have been told that this is either more difficult with laptops (as opposed to desktops) or not possible on many models, and just wanted to check.

Many thanks,
Sam

I haven't verified the above assertion, but on laptops with video cards built in to the motherboards, you can't pull the video card out and swap it with a new one.

Some laptops have a removable video card which can be replaced if it dies or possibly upgraded depending upon what's available.

Well that settles it, looks like I'll be getting a refurbished desktop.

Thanks for all your help.
