People who have laptops have to accept they cant be upgraded apart from the Ram (matchbox size cover on the bottom of the laptop, or some have the ram under the keyboard), that it for upgrading a laptop. Hence laptop lose value faster than desktops because your stuck with the same spec.
How do you upgrade graphics cards and RAM in a laptop/notebook computer?
We undertake laptop repairs and customers very commonly ask us to upgrade the video ram and on 95% of occasions it cannot be done as the graphics chip is part of the motherboard. On 5% of occasions the graphics chip is on a separate card that can be changed but the price is generally very high (£100 - £200). Ram is usually easy to upgrade via a trapdoor underneath the laptop or occasionally by removing the keyboard http://www.trilogicuk.co.uk
Reply:you can upgrade the ram easily and relatively cheap. but to upgrade the video you need one of the new high dollar usb 2.0 external video adapters and a high quality desktop monitor. figuire 500 to 1000 dollars unless you really go max on the video card which can push your costs to 1500 dollars or more. since once you do this your laptop is no longer mobile why not spend that 1500 and get a state of the are gaming desktop.
Reply:You can put more ram in your self. But the rest of it is to do with the mother board and you have to give it your manufactures to up grade. I would just get a new one. Because the graphics for example have to be on board and tie in with the proccesing speed of your proccesor.
Reply:Most laptop (99%) have a built in graphics card, this can not be changed. Ram on any sensible machine is fitted in a slot underneath, and there is a cover you can remove to change it. There are some which need a major strip down to change it.
Reply:Graphics cards? You can't. It's a chip on the board that you can't change.
RAM? There are usually slots under a plastic cover underneath...
