Graphics Cards?

[M0rga]

New to laptops and have found almost no information on GPU's. Is the Graphics card provided the one you are stuck with or can you upgrade and if so where can you buy a laptop graphics card?

Most laptops have a integrated graphics card/chip. Some laptops can have its graphics card upgraded, but very few.

if u had a custom made one... (i think asus's can be upgraded too?)

they make external graphics cards, but they are expensive and you need an express card slot

Asus and MSI often can be upgraded. A select few Dells can, too. Other than that it's almost a guarentee that you're stuck with what you've got.

Don't some gaming laptops come with 8600's?

these laptops do, they're made by a company based near me:

Computer Supplies from Novatech

I'll just add, although they're not very well known, I also use Novatech and i've never had a single problem with them. Excellent company.
