    The GPU on that machine appears to be soldered to the motherboard so unfortunately you cannot replace it.  Very few laptops nowdays have replaceable GPUs as they make the machine a lot thicker and heavier.

      Indeed, the GPU is soldered on this one, but why are you considering it? what's the problem you are trying to solve?
