Product: HP 17.3 inch Laptop PC 17-cp0000 (2Q7W8AV)

Hello,

 

I would like to simply use two larger external displays on this laptop.  I'm not looking to run 2 external monitors and use the laptop display as well.  Only just to extend the laptop screen one to one larger monitor and a 2nd one.  The laptop will simply run behind to two larger displays.  I don't believe the existing graphics card will allow this and I don't know if it can be upgraded to accommodate.  Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Hi:

 

The graphics adapter is an integral part of the motherboard and cannot be upgraded.

Thanks for the info, a bit disappointing.  I should've researched this a bit more prior to my purchase.  Lesson learned for the next one, thanks again.

You're very welcome.

 

There are no consumer class notebooks made by any manufacturer nowadays that have removable/upgradable graphics cards.

 

If you want to have a notebook where you can upgrade the graphics, you will have to buy an expensive business mobile workstation.

 

The HP zBook model series for example has removable graphics cards and both the notebook and a compatible graphics card to upgrade to cost a small fortune.
