hd3000 isn't even a discrete graphics card.

Most laptops you cannot add or change a gpu, without even looking up your make / model I'm gonna go on a limb and say no you cannot.

Invest in a gaming desktop. There is no such thing as a gaming laptop only laptops that play games fairly well. (imo)

There are some. Rare and expensive, but some that you can replace the gpu :p.

Agreed.. Laptops are just not gaming machines.

The short answer is NO, if the laptop does not come with a designated video card it cannot be upgraded.

Upgrading a laptop video card is financially not feasible since they are about 3 to 4 time the price than the desktop counter part. It is better to buy a new and better laptop
