Can i add Graphics to a laptop?

hi just wont to know if i can add Graphics to a laptop

Can i add Graphics to a laptop?

no, they all come with onboards graphics, although the chipsets used vary and are similar to the names of graphic cards for desktops. my missus bought one about 6 mths ago and it had ati x200 on board in it.

It depends on the laptop. Many have integrated graphics that are built into the motherboard, so this isn't an option.

I'd suggest downloading the documentation for your laptop from the website of it's manufacturer. If it's supported, they should (hopefully) mention this.

Can you refine you question to a more understandable way?

If you meant adding/replacing a graphic card, you have to check with your computer manufacturer for computer specs. In addition, graphic cards for laptops are hard to find, so I suggest you get a new laptop.

If you meant adding graphics as in pictures, then just copy and paste it into your computer directly. Unless you are using a mac(which is a harder issue), then you have to open each picture and use the "Save As..." option to save each file individually.

yes u can

Can i add Graphics to a laptop?

yes and no peter

theres two answers to this,first there is a technology manufactured by nvidia called mxm or Mobile PCI Express Module

basically this is a add-on module that slips into a slot,very similar to the way you would upgrade your laptops memory,and the idea was that you could upgrade your onboard nvidia 6150 for example and add a geforce 7600gs module and once you have disabled the onboard graphics you could use the new mxm chip

however the cost of manufacturing these chips put the price of them around 4 times the price of a standard pci-express card so not many users wanted to buy them,and also not all laptops were compatible

so this leads me on to the answer "no",most laptops made today cannot be upgraded simply because the size of the laptop makes this difficult and because a graphics adapter is built on to the actual laptops mainboard,for example in a desktop a radeon x1300 would be sloted into a agp or pci-express slot and drivers installed

the x1300 in a laptop is soldered on to the mainboard in the laptops case,this is basically similar in design to the x1300 card however in the case of the laptop the gpu has been designed to be fitted in a laptop

finally there is another option open to you,although its not much good,a usb graphics adpater like the IOGear USB 2.0 External Video Card (http://www.everythingusb.com/iogear_usb_...

this is a graphics adapter that can fit in a usb2.0 port and will support resolutions up to 1680 x 1050

its main specs are

Output: 15-pin analog VGA

Supported resolutions: 640 x 480, 800 x 600, 1024 x 768, 1152 x 864, 1280 x 768, 1280 x 960, 1280 x 1024, 1680 x 1050

Supported platforms: Windows XP/2003 Server/Vista (mirror mode)

USB power source: Bus-powered

Released date: May 2007

its a new idea but i dont think nvidia or a.t.i need to worry !

hope this helps,any problems let me know

good luck peter !
