you cant upgrade the video card in laptops. Laptops suck for games

If u want a gaming laptop, alien-ware would be your best bet. They have high powered gfx cards pre-installed. But they as bennet said, non changeable.

well, generally

there are a few cases when you can change it

but still, laptops nearly always suck for games

alienware = dell now i think though, but i may be wrong
