in short, no.

While in some laptops it is possible in theroy, finding the cards is very hard and very expensive. Although as tedster said, in your dell, it is not possible.

Hello captainsanta157, basically when you buy a Laptop you see at the specs and that's all you are gonna get, except for HDD or RAM none other components are upgradeable on budget. It's true on theory you can upgrade MOBO, CPU, or GPU but sure it will cost more than 50% of what you paid for that laptop or even more trouble than getting a new one. Don't go buy any video card online or at the stores that you usually see because those are designed for desktops PC's. That's my comment for you. Oh Dell, sorry but I'll agree with previous posts, Dell just make our upgradable world impossible, some of the cheapest MOBO i've ever seen, let's just say Dell is for students who only want to use Microsoft Office and use the internet .
BTW, Dell's XPS looks pretty good, let's wait to see if they Batt don't start burning again

Sorry man. If you want to upgrade in the future, then get a desktop. Its cheaper, and way easier to upgrade.
