    You're probably not going to beat this in performance per dollar:

    unless you like huge rebates.  But it may or may not be appropriate to your system, depending on what else you have.  What do you have now, and what is your budget?

    6850 is great pixel per buck card. If you look around you can get for like $100

    You can't meaningfully upgrade a laptop.  If you want something faster, you need a new computer.

    Yep.

    Upgrades on a laptop are pretty much not worth it, even what little bit you can upgrade. More RAM maybe, Graphics cards probably not. Hard drive? maybe so.

    I think you are pretty much stuck with whatever graphics solution came with the computer tho. I could be wrong as I have not owned a laptop in several years.

    I agree, if it were just ram or ssd added to the laptop sure. You're better off saving a couple hundred bucks more and either building or buying a new desktop. Sorryimage
