Product: HP Spectre x360 Convertible 15-eb0
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hello,

 

I have got the HP Spectre x360 15 and was wondering if the graphics card is upgradable? It came with the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 with Max-Q Design. If it isn't, is there anything else I can buy to upgrade this to play games a bit more smoothly?

 

Thank you

No, you have to buy a whole new System board (if available) which contains

 

   (a) Motherboard,

   (b) CPU with integrated video,

   (c) New dedicated Video card),

   (d) Operating system (you can't reuse old license).


All above  4 components are on one piece of hardware called System board. That means you would be able to upgrade to other GPU (if available) but very expensive.

 

Regards.

Thank you for your help. What about an external graphics card? Or is that what you have described?
