Hey guys!

I own Sony Vaio E series
Specs are: Intel Core i5-3230m @ 2.60GHz Turbo boost 3.20GHz
AMD Radeon HD 7500m/7600m series 1GB
8.00GB

I was wondering if my GPU is upgradable, when I was cleaning my laptop heatsink and air vents I found my CPU upgradable, but the AMD one looked like there was glue on the 4-edge sides. Can it be removed and replaced by another GPU? because my GPU is a little bit outdated and the performance is insanely dropping.
