I just recently purchases the HP Pavilion n5470, and it is an awesome laptop, EXCEPT when you get to the video card. An 8 mb video card? I just want to know for sure, is there NO way to upgrade a laptop video card?:(

All that I've come across are builtin. The one chance I know of is to get a dock and put a better card in that.

well its not worth it to most manufacturers to cater to the very very very small audience of people who want fast 3d cards in their laptops. i dont blame them either. why do you think only dell gateway and toshiba make gf2go / radeon 7500 /gf4go machines. not to mention dell is the only one who really has it on most of their machines
