Naturally, I would recommend the OMEN series of laptops and at least 4GB of dedicated video RAM. However, they are quite expensive (any gaming laptop is going to be)

Example:

https://www.amazon.com/HP-15-6-inch-i5-8300H-Processor-15-dc0010nr/dp/B07CZ6VK4G/ref=sr_1_6?keywords...

 

You can maybe find the Pavilion Gaming laptop for a little less and I actually really like the way it looks and feels.

Example:

https://www.amazon.com/HP-15-6-inch-Anti-Glare-WLED-Backlit-15-cx0056wm/dp/B07KQXHP4M/ref=sr_1_3?key...

Hi,

It is not possible to upgrade the GPU as it is integrated on the motherboard (soldered) together with the graphics subsystem. You would need to replace the whole motherboard which would probably cost more than buying a new PC with desired specs.

 

Hope it helps,

David
