Is it possible to upgrade my video card on my laptop?

I have a Toshiba Satellite C650D and i want to know if its possible to upgrade my video card?|||Possible? Yes. Easy and safe? Probably not. Laptops are not designed to have their parts swapped out, everything in there is fit together just perfectly to make sure it's as compact as possible and draws the appropriate amount of power the battery can provide, while staying as cool as possible. It is usually quite difficult to upgrade any components on a laptop.|||No. First of all, your laptop does not have a video card. It has an integrated graphics chipset- it's part of the motherboard. There's simply no room for it. For another, laptop graphics cards, when they are present, are arranged very precisely and usually soldered on to the motherboard. Because of how thin they make laptops now, you have to be very careful with the heat distribution. You'd basically have to disassemble the entire laptop in order to replace something like the graphics card.|||http://funtechsupport.forumotion.com/forum
