80% of the laptops have an onboard GPU and cannot be replaced. You'd have to replace the entire mainboard, which is a no-go because it has to fit exactly into the housing.

The ones that do not have an onboard GPU, have a special sized card that only fits into certain models. In other words, the card has to fit the housing.

And then there's the incompatibility issue, most laptop mainboards have a bios which is based for use with a specific card.

Wouldn't know where they can be purchased, but I give it a very, very small chance of success.

Yeah I've seen those before (too many times
) when I worked at Asus RMA.

Do you have a link to the exact laptop?

Either way I'm off to bed now, if I remember it I might be reading this topic tomorrow again
