Laptop video cards-are they easy to put in? I work all the time on desktops?

and I bought a laptop from a gamer pc builder co. with a video card in it. Nobody seems to know much about video cards in laptops but I know its possible to have one. Is it easy for someone with medium pc builder experience to put a video card in a laptop? I dont mean integrated, I know they come with that.|||Most laptops cannot have their video cards upgraded, however, since it is from a gaming company, it may have that option. The best thing to do would be to email the company and see if it has a swappable video card. if that is the case, it wouldn't be too hard, remove a few screws, maybe some ribbon cables and swap the card, but be careful, it's easy to break stuff when opening a laptop, try to find instructions for your specific laptop.|||Apples and Oranges: Laptop Cards are usually tied to the System Board itself. Do not attempt.|||Laptop video cards are integrated into the mobo, attempting to upgrade or change them can damage the laptop, i wouldn't suggest trying it|||

dont bother if you have a laptop which takes an add on card the adaption will probably be so specific the manufacturer will be the only supplier of the part.
