Graphic card switch

[Zen]

Just if anyone can find something about the topic couse i dont, only find reviews about specs etc for the whole computer.
I wanna know if its possible to switch the graphic card in a packard bell Easynote TS11HR.

I dont wanna demolish the whole thing or anything just a simple swap between them, current one i think is the Intel HD graphics 3000, comp spec on my papers only says integrated card so had to find it on the web and im not 100% sure. But if you find anything that says its possible to swap i would be greatfull

Laptops are usually thermally designed to not overheat with the parts that are inside. I highly doubt there's any room to replace it with a better GPU. And even if it is room. There may not be enough airflow to keep it running for more then 1 minute of gaming. :p
Either get a new laptop or get a proper desktop PC. Most likely any replacement that will fit inside your laptop is already on par with the one that's already there and not worth the investment.

Chances are the motherboard won't have a slot for separate graphics card then. Wouldn't know for certain, but if it uses integrated, there isn't usually any point in allowing a separate one to be used.

There are ofc laptops that have both now, but that's cause sandy bridge.

AFAIK you can't really switch around the gpu or cpu on laptops except maybe barebone ones.
So you buy a desktop or a "gaming" notebook.
Ii've bought myself a http://www.asus.com/Notebooks/Gaming_Powerhouse/G74SX/ for around 1100EUR here. Alienware with same specs costs 2400+ so that notebook is a pretty good deal.
Runs really cool(gpu/cpu cooler than my desktop's ), has 2 hdd bays and 4 ram slots with easy access to them. Runs everything including BF3.
Cons is that it's a bit on the heavy/large side.

maybe its time to start looking for parts to build a new desktop one then. sold the old one like 2 months ago xD but can prolly get something better now anyways, ideas are welcome, max price arround 15000 SEK with monitor

Monitor

MidiTower Quite spacious for this price segment.
I'd swap it out with something else if you're getting a better GPU.

DVD

HDD

PSU

RAM

CPU

Motherboard

GPU's

Totalt inkl. moms 11 515,00 SEK

No mouse and keboard since I have no idea what you'd like. :p
Monitor is not very good probably, but should be fine for gaming. CNET gave it a good reveiw score, but mine got a good score there and I'm not happy about the color quality...

I would suggest getting a gpu somewhere around the lines of gtx 570/hd6970 it would fit in your max budged with Dim's configuration

The two GTX 560 in SLi I already got in it should have a better price/performance ratio. :p
Only thing worth changing here is maybe an SSD and perheps a larger chassis tbh. I'm only somewhat certain the 560's will fit. Picked it mainly because it's really cheap and has more room then most mid range Midi Towers. A better CPU cooler could be an idea if you want to overclock the CPU to 4 GHz+ too.

4 things i would prolly change if it works
graphics - http://www.komplett.se/k/ki.aspx?sku=659717#extra
Monitor - http://www.komplett.se/k/ki.aspx?sku=635506
Chassi - http://www.komplett.se/k/ki.aspx?sku=605768
Ram - http://www.komplett.se/k/ki.aspx?sku=

prolly 1 extra HDD aswell but thats a later issue, since im not really in to all specs i hope these changes would fit in the MOBO

Thought it was only one xD Didn't see the "'s" in GPU's
