Hi

 

Processor and video are integrated into a single chip soldered on the motherboard, for that reason you can not change.

That is the point. There is no card you can buy and no slot to install it even if you could. The graphics are not upgradeable.

You don't ask the barber if you need a haircut. You have to do your homework before buying a laptop. Although not quite as expensive it is at least as significant a purchase as a car...you keep them for about the same length of time and they are equally complex products.
