A discrete graphics adapter is an actual physical module that plugs into a slot in the notebook. 

 

 You should consider going back to the very first post I made when I started this thread a couple of years ago. Read it to get a better understanding of what can and can't be upgraded in a notebook.

@Tri1stan

Instead of making seperate posts, edit your post. 

 

 

Read the article at the following link to get more information on what switchable graphics is. 

 

It is an advanced feature of high end notebooks that give the use of two seperate graphics output solutions to the logged in user. 

 

 One graphics output comes form the CPU (or APU, depending on whether it is Intel or AMD). 

 

The other graphics solution is a discrete (meaning seperate) graphics module that is plugged into a slot on the notebook's systemboard.
