If you are willing to spend some money the answer is yes. The money you spend may even be close to the amount of getting a new laptop so the business of changing high end graphics card on notebooks are hard to substain.Originally posted by jakku:as above, i got a fujitsu lifebook which i got from ntu .. any idea if the graphic card can be upgraded?
LCDs on notebook can also be replaced when pixels are dead or backlight are down. The same situation - pay the price and your notebook's back in action. -
In short still a no and i doubt fujitsu offer this serviceOriginally posted by Farmerseed:If you are willing to spend some money the answer is yes.

Some info here but i don't know if similar services are available in Singapore. Sim Lim may offer such services, just check it out over at some of the shops there.

Can also check out one of the articles over at HWZ i remember i have read. -
You go sim lim let them solder on the graphics you void your warranty, somemore you have to ship in your own mobile graphics cause i don't think any shops carry it in, then might as well don't buy a fujitsu.You want to game, don't buy laptop

In fact you will have to look at every model and design of the notebook in question. Unlike PC modding with hardware and cards readily available in retails for upgrade and replacements, the notebook assembly process is very different. Older models may have the graphics integrated on the motherboard so replacement of graphics means replacement of the whole system. If you are getting the newer models with the nVidia GPU and mobile graphics card as shown with my link most probably you can upgrade. Otherwise you may just have to check with the notebook manufacturers on the availabliltiy of any graphics card for replacement. Other than the graphics and motherboard, hard disk, random access memory, USB expansion and other add-ons upgrades should not be a problem for most notebooks.

If warranty has expired, go any tech shops you trust to get it upgraded...Originally posted by jakku:as above, i got a fujitsu lifebook which i got from ntu .. any idea if the graphic card can be upgraded?
Please note that most laptop motherboards have their graphics integrated, meaning you have to change the whole motherboard to upgrade your graphics.
If warranty has not expire... you can risk it...
If Fujitsu discovers that you've in some ways void the warranty, means no free repairs. -
wonder can do crossfire or not?

You think this is desktop har?Originally posted by MyPillowTalks:wonder can do crossfire or not? Anyway ATI and Nvidia are the principal designer of the graphics processor, they then source out these designs to third party manufacturers(MSI, Gigabyte, ASUS etc.)These manufacturer may choose to customize and manufacure according to their needs(tweaking the clock speed and memory speed, designing own heatsink etc.)
