Quoting this "private" reply here as I don't see any reason to have it
private. Probably one of the victims of the Good-Bye-ReplyTo-Munging...
And I didn't know the facts state, so I think others are interested in this
too.

I have the very strong feeling that you are fixed
on your graphics
device as I
have never seen a laptop that could make use of an extra video card.
Except
with a docking station that has a pci-slot...
Newer PCIe based Notebooks use a
special video-card standard called MXM.
if you have such a notebook, it should _IN THEORY_ be possible to
exchange the video card. BUT:
a) there exist at least 4 different sub-formfactors of the MXM spec.
b) The cooling solution must be "good enough" for the desired video
card. This applies to the power subsystem as well.
c) you might run into troubles with the bios ...
d) replacing the card may be difficult and invalidate warranty
e) there might be notebooks with discrete PCIe graphics that is not obey
the MXM standard
f) it is very likely that notbooks with integrated graphics lack MXM
slots, and it is even more likely that such notebooks at least lack the
required cooling solutions.
