Hi,

 

It already has video chip (card). As mentioned above, no way you can add an external video card to your machine. Actually there is one way which requires the following steps:

 

(a) Buy a new motherboard which supports external video card,

(b) Buy a new video card,

(c) Buy a new cooling system,

(d) You may need new power supply (charger)

 

And at the end of the day your machine may NOT work as you dream and the total cost would be more than the price of a new, better computer.

 

Hope this explains a bit more.

 

Regards.

Hi,

 

1. No

2. The Intel HD Graphics 4000 chip is soldered to the motherboard and the motherborad does not have a spare slot to another/external vifeo card.
