In this guide, we'll explain what options you have for upgrading your laptop's GPU and which one is best for you.
Upgrading your laptop – CPU / Graphics card / RAM / Disk
Laptops, even gaming laptops, are typically not designed with graphics card upgrades in mind. Unlike desktops, which have lots of space and use components that are built for easy replacement, laptops don’t have any space to spare, so they don’t have easily swappable components.
There are a few laptops that do have the option for graphics upgrades, such as the Alienware Area 51m and its various revisions. However, that upgrade program was limited, very expensive even for its time, and has not become more affordable.
The best way to upgrade your laptop graphics is to buy a new one with a better GPU. The laptops with the best graphics cards are usually gaming laptops.
