Acer Aspire GPU upgrade

[Gustehbus]

Here's my question: I bought a used Acer Aspire (14" i5-480M 2.66 GHz Laptop | AS4743-6481). I gave it 4 more gigs of ram in hope of being able to play games better, it didn't help much. Now its come to my attention I need something other than the integrated Intel graphics. Any suggestions? (if it's even possible to add to this mobo)

That laptop (as do most) has no way to upgrade the graphics. to get better graphics = new laptop. essentailly, in most laptops, HD to SSD & more memory are your only upgrades

That's what I was afraid of, the relatively fast cpu and extra slot for ram just got my hopes up for a budget gaming laptop.
Are there any laptop series that can recommended as "modifiable"?

Generally, they are the higher end laptops like Dell's Alienware, & hi end units from other custom laptop builders. Also GPU's in laptops are much higher $$ and lower performance than their desktop counterparts. There are no cheap/budget units like this that I am aware of.
