Upgrading video card on laptops

With the new Alienware laptops debuting soon, I got to thinking about upgrading the video card in my own laptop. When I bought my system from Sager over a year ago, it was top of the line desktop replacement gaming system. Of course, now it's rapidly falling behind. Is it feasible to upgrade the video card on a standard laptop computer?

My current set up, purchased from Sager is:

Pentium 4 1.8 Ghz Northwood core Intel R682845MP / Intel FW82801CAM
1 Gb DDR 2100 RAM
ATI 7500 64 Mb video card (M7)

And that's the only important stuff.

If anyone has any experience changing the video card in a laptop (especially a Sager) I'd really appreciate some tips.

I contacted Sager tech support but I haven't got a reply back from them yet. The user manual, as usual, says nothing about changing the video card.
 
You really can't upgrade much in a laptop. Mostly everything is integrated into the motherboard, so the only thing you can generally change is the RAM and the drives.
