    You will not be able to upgrade the graphics card in a laptop - it can't be done for 99% of all laptops. The CPU may be upgraded slightly, but rarely will you get enough out of it to have been worth your while.

    Yes it is - but integrated graphics won't be powerful enough to run most games anyway.
