I need some Laptop help
« on: December 08, 2012, 11:09:43 PM »
Okay, I know some people on here know about computers, so I wanted to know if I can change out my graphics card for my HP Dv7-6185US Pavillion laptop. Even if I have to get a whole new motherboard.

I've tried everything. Geek Squad told me to pay them $70 to find out if I can get a graphics card, then tried to sell me a new, $1500 laptop. HP has NO IDEA. I just want a straight answer. I know that most laptops cannot, and most Pavillions cannot, but can THIS one?

Much appreciated.

Graphics cards are integrated into the motherboard. You can change memory, harddrive, cpu, and motherboard on laptops. For $1500 just buy a desktop lol jesus you could make a beast machine for that much!

You are just going to have to upgrade laptops.
