I'm trying 2 decide on getting either a gateway laptop model #MX6920 or an acer laptop model #AS5102WLMI from circuit city's website. I'm not sure what the video specs are, so could someone plz look and see what they are and tell me if it's possible 2 replace or add a video card to a laptop and if so, how to do it? thanks in advance.

no
most laptops have their video cards built into the mother board
so it would fairly expensive replacing it
thts y u never do an hardware upgrade on a laptop like u would for a desktop
hope this helps

Rarely can u replace video cards on a laptop unless is d same brand and model. Otherwise nope. It is built in into the motherboard. If u into like games, high quality video editing etc, go for a desktop computer. Cheaper and much more reliable.

Very few laptops will let you swap video cards and they are REALLY expensive. Falcon Northwest makes one and I think the high end Dells do but that's the only ones I know. Even then you have to buy that companies upgrade card and theres no guarantee they will even offer it. So basically the answer is no.
